The server is currently busy. Please try again later.

Since yesterday I could not download idea no matter when I tried - day or
night. It keeps saying "The server is currently busy. Please try again
later."

Alex,

You can try download manager - it should download even from busy sites. You
may look at ReGet, GetRight, FlashGet.

Have you guys considered relasing updaters instead of entire installations
for each build? That would surely reduce the load on your servers.

(And I'm sure you know that Zero G, the authors of InstallAnywhere, have a
product that does just that.)

That would be useful for EAP users, but not make much of an impact for people who only use release versions. Since they are a relatively small company I figure spending any extra money for beta user convenience is probably not in their budget.

Yeah its annoying, hopefully their servers will get fixed soon? never had a probleme before this week.

Somebody should mirror those files =o

Problem is that the server's giving out 'hard' errors, i.e. saying that it's permanently unavailable and a well-behaved download manager won't then retry.

Actually, if you insist (keep hitting Refresh from the browser) you will get a connection eventually (took me a dozen of tries or so).

You are lucky. I wrote a script that loops "wget: since morning without any success.

I downloaded ReGet last night, I changed the max retries to 10000 and left it going all night, no luck. I have been trying again this morning, now on a 25 meg link and I still can't get on.

All I need is the damn idea600-jre.zip file, I've got 611 but can't get it to work with my installed 1.4.1.

Can anyone please tell me how to get this new 611 working with a "normal" 1.4.1 JDK. I've tried changing the .bat file but it says it must use the EAP version only.

I'm more than happy to upload 661 to another web site if anyone's interested (I need permission though) but guys, you had a really good solution with up until about 655 using the IDEA_JAVA_HOME, it's all gone pear shaped now, I'm going to have to move back to earlier versions and give up with 661.

There is nothing special about their jre. In one of the threads it was explained how to build your own if you already have a j2sdk1.4.1:

Get the jre directory from your j2sdk 1.4.1 directory and also copy tools.jar from 1.4.1_home\lib\ to jre\lib and javac.exe from 1.4.1_home\bin to jre\bin.

Now copy the jre directory into your Idea directory and you are done :)

Excellent, it works thanks! I'll free up the server from my download attempts now.

Perhaps these instructions should be put on the EAP download page, it will save a lot of downloads.

It's a shame it has to be copied though, it would be nice to simply "point" to the JRE_HOME

Thanks again,

-John-

When doing this, make sure that the JRE directory is at the same level in the directory structure as bin, config, etc. There are some dependencies on this that I found the hard way.

This works!!!

I think these instructions should be put up on the download page - it will save everybody a lot of hassle. Also, if you already have 1.4.1 downloaded, then downloading intellij's jre distribution should not be required.

I have to say this is really annoying... been trying to download since it came out and still -- busy - even at 1am in the morning. There can't be that many downloads.
Is something broken with this thing?

He all,

You never shouldn't be downloading builds directly. There are links on the
EAP site which may change. Currently, we are using Akamai, this gives you a
light speed downloading builds now.

I was able to (finally) download the jre zip this morning. Looks like the "new" server is working fine.
