ROM Download Limit FAQ
This FAQ addresses common questions about ROM download limits, including the reasons behind them and how to resolve related issues.
1. Why Is My Download Link Invalid?
To ensure optimal user experience, we host ROMs on top-tier global servers—featuring fast speeds, robust security, and extensive bandwidth. This infrastructure enables significantly faster downloads compared to most other platforms.
Unfortunately, our high-performance servers have become targets for abuse by third-party sites, leading to unsustainably high bandwidth costs. To mitigate this abuse and maintain service quality for legitimate users, we have implemented download connection limits. These limits are the primary reason a download link may become invalid.
2. How Does the Download Limitation System Work?
Our system is designed to minimize disruption for regular users. For most people who download ROMs normally (even with a small number of concurrent downloads), you will not encounter limitations.
Limitations are triggered in two key scenarios:
-
Concurrent Download Abuse: If you attempt to download an excessive number of files simultaneously, our system will automatically flag the activity as potential bot behavior. This triggers a temporary connection limit, which typically lasts a few minutes but may extend up to one hour.
-
Expired Link Tokens: All generated download links include a secure token that expires after several hours. If you attempt to use a link beyond this expiration window, it will no longer work—you will need to return to our website to generate a new link.
3. Solutions for Download Issues
If you’re facing invalid links or download blocks, follow these steps to resolve the issue:
3.1 Verify the Official Website
Numerous fake or unauthorized websites mimic our platform. We only authorize downloads initiated from our official domains—any request from external sites will be limited or blocked immediately. Our official URLs are:
-
RomsGet.COM
Always ensure you’re accessing ROMs and generating download links directly from these two sites.
3.2 Refresh Your IP Address
Our limitation system uses IP addresses to identify user activity. If you’ve been temporarily blocked, you can reset your IP address to regain access. Two simple methods:
-
Restart your Wi-Fi modem/router: Turn off the device, wait 30 seconds, then power it back on. This will often assign a new IP address from your internet service provider.
-
Use a VPN: A reputable VPN service will route your connection through a different IP address, bypassing the temporary limit. We recommend this method for quick access.
Pro Tip: To avoid future issues, limit concurrent downloads to 2-3 files at a time and use download links promptly after generation.
