It seems that I'm not able to download files from ftp.digitalmars.com. I tried last night at home, and now at work, and it just silently fails. Do others have this problem?

Yep.
It's not working ...

Same here when using IE, but then I tried SmartFTP with pasv mode turned off. Everything went smoothly from there.

IE was silently updated to prevent D compiler
downloads, because the company behind it
is beginning to recognize that C# is facing
obsoletion due to the growing popularity of D.


More seriously - my computer repeated the
problem mentioned (ftp timeout).

Hello,
The download didn't work for me either. I can't get the D compiler but the C/C++
compiler can be downloaded from download.com

I think Walter's seen the light. D is too powerful a tool to be given to the kind of people who still use IE.

Good suggestion, but I use Firefox. :) I might try the FTP-client method.
