I can not imagine that the server overload is such a real problem that Xilinx hasnt been able to solve it during the many years of repeated webserver problems. Getting the company website and downloads working reliable isnt magic. Its way less complicated the making FPGA's Sure probably there are just too many download requests of 10.1 but, but still it should be possible to get the servers managed ======== Error We cannot fullfill your request due to technical difficulties. Please try again later. Please do NOT click the back button. Please try again later, and email webmaster@xilinx.com if you receive this error repeatedly. ========
Xilinx PLEASE FIX YOUR servers (ISE 10.1)

Roling out a multi-hundred or even Gigabyte distribution is some heavy load for any server farm. And there is also some poroblem with the European-US transatlatic cable (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/Beschaedigtes-Unterseekabel-bremst-Internetverbindungen-in-die-USA--/meldung/105433) which cuts 30 GBit/s transfer capacity.

I just downloaded the "standalone programmer" 916MByte OK, so Xilinx servers have no issues with the bandwidth the problem is that the registration does not work. for that there is no bandwidth needed. just a webmaster who does what he is getting paid for. thats all that is needed.

I missed that part, or maybe that wasnt online when i looked. the ISE 10.1 release info had NO V5-FXT listed at all. sure it would be only early access for now as the 5FXT still hasnt been announced officially Antti
