Need help testing new SN10 firmware

I was just asking how to get a ndb file from wwte. I'm sure you use many. If I can't get a file I can't use sn10

Nor any other flight computer.
Please, try my advice above.

An an fyi, no problems here getting files off of the WWTPE. Maybe it was a transient website or network issue.

Hi,

I have a list of the "mirror sites" for the Worldwide Turnpoint Exchange he
http://cumulus-soaring.com/soaring_links/airports.htm
If one site isn't working, the others are.

Best Regards,

the Internet Explorer and Windows don't get along with the SN10 NDB files
This is a Quote from John Leibacher. "This has unfortunately caused considerable grief for a number of users"
John has some suggestions on how to get around the problem.
My fix was to simply do the SN10 file download on my android phone, problem solved.
So in the future if someone ask for help on this problem I would simply say use your Android smart phone instead of your windows pc.
Thanks for the help :-(

The exchange works perfectly with every WIN or OSX browser I've tried.
But exploder isn't one.
How's Dave's newest creation?

I hate all of this disparaging garbage about Windows, IE, etc. If you don't like the OS or the browser fine, don't use them, but don't go telling the world that they don't/won't work to download .ndb off the the Exchange. As a proof point I just pulled down several .ndb files off the the Exchange using both IE 11 and Edge on Win 10 - both browsers worked flawlessly and downloaded all of the files with no problems whatsoever.

MICROSOFT'S SECURITY BOSS has told punters that its venerable browser, Internet Explorer, isn't actually a browser in a bout of Magrittian surrealism.

Chris Jackson told the world in a blog post that Internet Explorer is, in fact, a 'compatibility solution' and shouldn't be used as a daily driver by anyone who doesn't need to.

And what does any of that have to do with the FACT that both IE and Edge on Win 10 DO actually work to download the files we're discussing, contrary to the FUD that was previously posted?
