Done, many thanks!

[Nobby_UK]

Problem:
Also said something about download/install something for files 1GB +
But it isn't ?

Will try again --- maybe do a rest + retry ?

[Amiga1992]

Maybe your system, I managed to download the disc just fine.

Note of warning: Do NOT quit with F10 or ESC, lots of demos were failing for trying to load them after quitting like that. Reset the machine after every demo is ran (RAM issue? Dunno).

Ah good point, maybe why I had an issue earlier even though it worked fine the other day, I'll update the first post to reset each time.

I've seen this before... Don't use Internet Explorer; use Chrome instead

[Nobby_UK]

No good
On FireFox 50.1.0 - Who uses IE ?!?!

[Amiga1992]

Are you using WHDLoad for these, Amigajay? There's a bunch of flashing issues, and basically none of the AGA demos work. Should give CD32Load a try.

This is what I got so far, will continue tomorrow, tired of the computer today.

Letter B:
Beatsonix - S flashing at beginning, waited over a minute, nothing else happened.
Bacteria - Works. Needs mouse
Bard In A Box - Works, needs mouse

Baygon - Doesn't work.

Me, sometimes IE and sometimes Chrome...

Did you at least try in Chrome as suggested?

[Nobby_UK]

Not going to try Chrome (again)
Tried the plug-in = Slower Download
But Still Failed !

Tried the Cloud Download as a Zip = Fail
Tried not as Zip = Now Over Data Limit

Yeah WHDLoad, that's the script JOTD was using with his generator, i wanted to see if there was that many flashes, and unfortunately there looks like there is, even with the PRELOAD option, i didn't want to CD32Load to start as it can cause disk read errors, esp on a disk with 650 odd things to try out, and esp on real hardware the testing will be needed, but looks like we may have to go that route, prob will end up a mixture of both, which means alot more work than i hoped lol

I'll ask JOTD in the other thread if he can make a new script for me.

@Nobby - i don't know what to suggest, downloads work for me on chrome and firefox, maybe you need to clear your cache? If it still isn't working I'll upload it to dropbox tomorrow.

I'm a little busy with another project but you can take demos I put on my cd32 demo disc. Most of them are hd friendly but few work with cd32load, State of the art, for example.

Cheers Cobe!
Yeah i think with some its better just to use the exe or single file, but i wanted to get as many running to start with with whdload or cd32load before i attempt to go through and fixing some that don't run first time.

You know, 600+ demos is a shit ton, and to be fair, personally, I would skip a lot of, or rather, all of the ones that require interactivity with the user. First on that list would be musicdisks, I would totally not have them there (usually require both mouse and keyboard). MEgademos that only require a mouse click should be K though. Even though I always disliked them haha :P but that's a personal opinion.

Stick to Trackmos first, then megademos, then see what else to add.
I'll resume my testing in a bit. The two letters I tested yesterday were generally working well and pleasantly. Then again I tested it all on WinUAE and not on the real thing.

You read my mind! Yeah i noted down earlier to remove any music disks, slideshows and stuff, just keep it pure demo's. Megademos should be ok, esp if run with cd32load and vm.
I loaded up 'stag' last night without knowing what it was, luckily my son was the other side of the room!
