Permanent File Access System - Downloads fixed!
Many of you have raised the issue of problems using the permanent file access system, like timeouts when downloading the files or errors while zipping them. We are grateful for all the feedback and very sorry for any inconvenience!
Over the past few days, we made every effort to address the problem.
Now each product will have one pre-compressed pack plus the singular items it holds.
No need to wait for compression of the whole Chapter pack, like on Sync or Google-Drive. This does not mean we will remove the backup Google-Drive links for Patreon packs, as the poll showed many of you use that system (though hopefully this will change with the improved downloads).
Try it out yourself with Chapter 3 files.
Eventually all products will be migrated to the new system, but for now it's only the latest pack.
From now on, all files will be hosted on Amazon S3 with CloudFront, while still being accessed via our site.
What does that mean?
No more timeouts or corrupt .ZIP files
Faster download speeds
Files are distributed around the world, so you download from your closest access point
Thank you for being patient and giving us the space to grow and develop a convenient system to make your files yours forever!
Safe travels and happy printing,
Nelly and Maksym

Somehow I missed the Chapter 2 content. Wasn't that in September? I have so many patreon subs each month (like 30ish) and I think I may have dropped this one by accident. Bah.
Did you forget to download? If so, I can add the pack to your account no problem. Unless by dropped you mean unsubbed ;) Yup, Chapter 2 was the September pack :)
Awesome to hear you're constantly improving the experience for everyone!
Recent patron here. Being a bit of a completionist, I was wondering what the easiest (and cheapest, haha) way was to obtain everything that's been created up to this point. If there's epic discounts on the horizon somewhere in the near future (even months from now), I can wait, absolutely, because shelling out big time only to realize you missed the impending discount, yeah, you know what I mean, and it hàs happened to me :) On another note, absolutely loving the minis and overall feel ;-)
Hi there, welcome to the adventure and thank you for the kind words! Totally know what you mean, worst feeling ever :D Previous minis with statblocks are uploaded to my store and MyMiniFactory, with a 30% discount code available in the monthly pack. Battlemaps are only on my store, as they don't fit on MMF ;) Chapter 1 has some best-deal packs for the undead. However, I will probably have some larger than 30% discounts around the Christmas season, so no need to rush ;) Patrons will be the first to hear about those.
This. <3
Glad you appreciate the progress! <3
