Just adding a notification for when a personalization is done would help a lot.
Right now it is a guessing game.

Just got into the flow of things and managed to download all pdf's except one, which the zip seems to be corrupt. The download time for it seems to be 3 hours now though, so the file server is really slow right now.

The last issue was connection timeout, but that was chrome and it couldn't be changed in that browser. Chrome has a very low connection timeout setting which cannot be changed.
Edge/IE seems to have a much longer connection timeout limit and manages to catch those failing downloads.
Firefox would work as well if you increase the connection timeout setting there (if on linux.)

So, notification by email, or just upload to dropbox automagically when done.
The email could just contain a direct link to the resource.


I'm getting past the Personalizing now after waiting for 15-30 minutes, however, sometimes when the download link is ready I get ERR_TIMED_OUT errors from https://remote3.paizo.com
So I am unable to download the prepared digital book.

This only happens 50% of the time, and clicking the link "problems downloading this book" restarts the personalizing process.

Is there a configuration error on the download server or did the personalizing process just fail somewhere thinking it was done but wasn't?

You can also read the players and gm guide that come with the beginners box and run Blackfang (the adventure in the gm book).

Yeah, I bet it will keep me busy for a while.

I noticed if I just keep focusing on one link, instead of starting several personalizations, the download link will be ready much faster (within 5-10 minutes.)
I assume clicking another download link and it starts personalization, it resets the other one. Just a guess.


I'd love to see a "download all" option and maybe it could be optimized instead of having to click 50 links, which first starts the personalizing process and then you can download.

I've however noticed that the personalizing process can reset if you aren't timing it right to download, then you'll have to restart that process the next day.

Some files I managed to get at least. The beginner box has a nice solo adventure which doesn't require reading through the rules book to play :)

The best recommendation in these cases is just to wait until the humble bundle is over and perhaps one more week. Right now everyone is trying to download at the same time...
