GMDL Proplem...........plz help ASAP

Dear Deniska and friends............hope u r all fine
i have recieved my ticket to Syria before two days ago............so i have started to download sattellite maps for aleppo(Halab) city in Syria.
the proplem is when the download start..........after a few minutes the message(google satellite test failed it may be an idea to change connection)shows and the download stops and every time i press ok it shows again and again and again.
and the map never completed(the message shows in the 5% step).
Note:i am using the last version of GMDL tool and i have .Net framework installed
i hope that u solve my proplem
Regards

Google blocks based on IP if you download a certain number of satellite tiles within a given time (which seems to vary). Only real solution is to use a different connection when your IP gets blocked, wait quite a few hours for the block to expire, or use a different source (probably with lower resolution though).

Hi i got a error when i am trying to launch the program, version gmdl0.4.15b, i got .NET 2 installed but seems like no matter which version of gmdl i try i always get this error window:

Can you click on Details in the error dialog box and post the text from there (it may give me an idea of where it's crashing).

What happens if you click continue? Also, are you running it after having extracted the zip file?

Hi this is a little long but here is the message i see when i click 'details'

End of details

This is an internet connection issue - GMDL needs to access maps.google.com on startup (I can replicate it by unplugging my network cable) that could be caused by your Windows XP/Vista/Firewall/AntiVirus being configured to block GMDL from accessing the internet (one of those Deny or Allow? boxes that pop up - you'll have to consult your OS/firewall manual to find out how to change the settings).

You can re download http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.4.15b.zip which now gives a more informative error message, and will keep on retrying (you can quit via the task manager).

thanks heaps! i will give that a try...:)

hmmm.....i tired to use the program again....but no matter how i set my firewall and internet security it still says no internet connection.....
the strange thing is the main window loads up google maps default page in the main window even when the error message saying that there is no internet access comes up and no matter how many times i click it still cant detect internet..

I am using a broadband connection with a adsl router.....is this causing the program to be unable to detect any dial up connection?

The webpage that's visible is an instance of internet explorer, so it inherits its security settings. What you need to change is an application permission setting, that you need to enable somewhere, see:

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=61368

Since I can't see "internet security to medium" anywhere in a default windows install I think it's probably a third party product (Norton?).
