I was able to get Elixer and LotusFlow3r yesterday after unzipping the file and zipping again to unzip again (WHAT A MESS) LOL. I did the same thing for MPLSound but I couldn't get it to work yesterday. So friggin frustrating... Today I come into work and attempt MPLSound and I get an error page saying that the navigation was cancelled. Are they not letting me download because I downloaded yesterday or is the site just completely jacked up today?

hmm..

im having probelms with the site too.

I enter my screen name and they're not letting me in.

'Please double check your screen name'

Do you think the web blockers would have been enabled overnight? I was able to get the albums yesterday and did download MPLSound but it wouldn't unzip so I deleted it to start over then ...this happened.

you know it might have. It might have been updated over night by order for security purposes.

I myself am having problems with site, problems getting in actually. Another reason for your blockage could be the Webmasters fixing the problem or temporarily updating the site to make it better.

Ask someone who knows about computers say a co-worker. They might be able to unblock the 'Page Blocker' from the page settings.

I've confirmed it's nothing on our end here at work. Luckily when I deleted the MPLSound this morning it was still in my recycle bin so I was able to bring it back and tried again to follow the instructions of the post "MPLSound Internet Explorer Work Around" and I can not get it to extract the file the second time. I do the HR here at my job and lets just say people are real close to not getting their checks cuz I keep messin with this file.

you know the file might be 'corrupt'. Keep the file you have (for now).

go to Lotusflow3r.com ,and download 'MPLSound' again.

The files should download over 100 MB or for WAV it should be 465 MB. Its best that you download the mp3s it might be easier for the computers. If the file is below the MB stated above it will not work. It has to be the exact number in order to extract.

If Lotusflow3r is NOT letting you download anything. you should contact

support@lotusflow3r.com

Clay should give you a email showing you how you can fix your problem.

I'd had the same problem this morning. I figured I'd wait till today to download MPLSound with all the problems yesterday. I just went to try again...
I get the same error page.
Lets hope they're working on it to fix the page.
...really not in rush to download this, least fav of all albums. I just listen on my pc for now

I downloaded all the albums yesterday with no issue and have them on my mp3 player.

Yeah I would say wait until the Web is completed from errors.

You will get it eventually.

Clay and the guys are fixing the problem(s) currently as we speak.

Their statement can be seen here:

'We understand that several people have had issues with the site, and we're working diligently to address them all as quickly as possible. With the great amount of traffic that we've received there have been some issues getting the large amount of content in the site out to everyone simultaneously. We're currently doubling the size of our server farm in order to make sure that fans can get all of the albums and videos they desire. To accommodate our friends overseas we've relaxed some of the normal security checks put in place by American banks. Since the vault has 3D and video, which is pushing the boundary of the web and current technology, only newer machines can adequately handle it. If fans are experiencing choppy videos in the vault, they should click the fullscreen button on the video and it should improve their experience. Thanks to everyone for their patience while we scale up LotusFlow3r.com to accommodate the great response from Prince fans all over the world.'

Thanks so much,
Scott


Hang tight!

I clicked on Elixer and Mplssound twice to download, only because I interrupted the process because I wanted to save it in a different folder on my pc, but onced it was downloaded and saved to a file. I had to start over. But once the music downloaded to the file I saved it in, desktop, I clicked on the file, copied it to my itunes music folder, then dropped it into Windows Media Player and synched it to my mp3 player. I have all 3 albums on there with no problem.

Helps to think I'm not the only one...

* Patiently waiting for the problem to be fixed*
