If using the same computer clear cache. If different computers, uhm, I'm not sure. How long are you waiting for the download? On slow connections there is sometimes quite some time before everything is loaded.

It sounds like a slow internet connection, the map sizes can vary greatly, but I might be wrong :)

Looking at screen capture, I see a couple of things that might cause problems. 1) Norton is running some operation. A lot of Antivirus programs will suck memory big time, and if running updates and/or updating definitions will chew up bandwidth even on hi-speed connections. 2) looks like you are also streaming audio (and vid?) on privatradio. Also a big chewer of memory and bandwidth.
If you happen to be using 3G or 4G plug-in antenna to access internet. there might not be enough bandwidth to handle all the demand.

Plus your battery is getting low. :-)

Africa by Sea 2025 - Suez to Port Said


When Napoleon (briefly) occupied Egypt at the turn to the 19th C, he ordered his expedition’s Directeur des Ponts et Chaussées, Jacques-Marie Le Père, to evaluate the ancient, derelict, infilled course of a Ptolemaic canal connecting the Red Sea to the Nile via the Great Bitter Lake, versus a new canal to the Mediterranean directly. Neither were considered feasible – locks to climb a pauvre-surveyed 10m sea-level difference, or continuous dredging of the Nile, would both be equally financially prohibitive. Fifty years passed before the unlikeliness of Le Père’s survey finding was challenged and a French Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez obtained a 99-year concession from the Khedive of Egypt, Said Pasha, to construct and operate a canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, much against the will of the Ottoman Sultan, Abdulmecid I (the Pasha’s nominal overlord), and the wishes of the (Irish) British prime minister, Lord Palmerston. The year was 1859, the very number of this race (planning, dear boy, planning!), which, despite the canal’s double-super-tanker gauge and lack of locks, is strictly prohibited to sailors IRL. But not SOLers! 85nm in Fareast 28Rs to complete your circumnavigation of Africa!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
