I've just gotten a beta key, and am trying to play on Ubuntu Linux, using Chrome. I've checked that I've got the correct flash version installed, and when I browse to live.cardhunter.com I get a splash screen with a download bar progressing VERY slowly. I fired up the dev tools and found that the file http://live.cardhunter.com/client/CardHunterWebApp.swf?2013-07-30 13:19:30 1000 is downloading very slowly (a few kilobytes per second maybe) from cloudfront. Here is the HTTP response: HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash Content-Length: 1 Connection: keep-alive Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2013 05:39:39 GMT Last-Modified: Tue, 30 Jul 2013 05:33:40 GMT ETag: "ea311e30d97bb4d7b4ba0549bde85863" Accept-Ranges: bytes Server: AmazonS3 Content-Range: bytes 1984773-1984773/15607486 Age: 18936 Via: 1.0 4c6eef590ba6bdabc0f5006284bdf602.cloudfront.net (CloudFront) X-Cache: Hit from cloudfront X-Amz-Cf-Id: x8QdDQZLc7QNC-oCbG5KDyQCX89dOn77Wf6s4FUJ-N5LSmupijfALQ== The 206 Partial Content header is due to my browser using a local cache hit on the partially downloaded file. You can see in the request it's already downloaded 1.9 odd MB. This took a few hours!

Anyone got any ideas why this should be taking so long? I've tried this using wget on this linux box, and it's the same slow download. I've also tried this on a Windows 7 PC, using chrome, and the result was the same.
Wow, it shouldn't be that slow anywhere. It could be a temporary glitch in CloudFront I guess. Let us know if you keep seeing this.
Ok, I just tried again today, and still the same behaviour. I might try taking this laptop to somewhere else and trying from there. I'll let you know.
Hmm, just tried going through a VPNReactor connection, and it seems to work fine through that - I guess it's issues with the connection between me and my local cloudfront server. No big deal, if no one else has had the same problem.
