Hi all, Recently (past 1-4 months) I get a lot of emails at fina...@qgis.org from people who say that they donated but then could not download QGIS. I think I got at least 40-50 such emails until now.
Sometimes they ask: how many times do I have to donate until I can download QGIS? I then explain them that donations are optional, often direct them to the direct download page - and I tell them that downloads may take longer. I believe that many users aren't aware that QGIS is downloading "in the background". Because the QGIS downloads are rather large this can take several minutes ... Or may there be other problems with downloads? Does it require Javascript to be enabled? I wonder if we can display some hint that QGIS is downloaded "in the background" and can take a while to download .... I believe this is because many users don't know how their browsers work with the downloads of large files ... Is there anything we can do to inform users and enhance the download experience - so that I don't get that many emails? Thank you for your replies, Andreas -- Andreas Neumann QGIS.ORG board member (treasurer)
