Sky download not working

I can access sky through my browser but the download is not working and is coming up with network error, try again.

Has anyone else had this problem? I have full internet access and no problems with my router.

    It's working for me now, but there seems to be gremlins in the works.

    This is a screenshot of my table when a tournament launched. I managed to relaunch it and get there after a minute or two, but when I arrived 4 other players were still disconnected, they're all playing now.

System09:43:48 Connected with Sky James St System09:43:53 Hi, you're chatting to Sky James St, I'll be assisting you today Customer09:43:59 hello there Customer09:44:15 i am sure (or hopeful) that you will have been inundated with contact re: the new sky poker software update (1.74) Customer09:44:27 for whatever reason it no longer connects to the sky poker servers Customer09:44:34 and thus is unusable Customer09:45:08 i can confirm that the problem is in your software and not my connection, and i have reinstalled the software since the update Agent09:45:23 Hi, there has been a poker outage this morning, if it isn't working for yourself you do need to delete your temporary internet files and cookies, restart your computer and log back in Agent09:45:43 This should resolve the issue Customer09:45:54 orly Customer09:46:12 is this a reply specific to the issue i have mentioned above Agent09:46:18 It isn't a problem with your connection but by doing this it just makes sure you are using the site with the new updates Customer09:46:18 or just a generic reply Customer09:46:30 it isn't the site Customer09:46:32 it's the .air file Customer09:46:37 released this morning Customer09:46:39 at 8.30 Agent09:47:13 No its not a generic reply.

    I had to uninstall and then download from the browser again and it seem to be ok

    Hi everyone,

    We're still investigating this issue, it's seems to be intermittently affecting some users when they download/update the software.

    If you uninstall/reinstall as suggested by people above then it should allow you to get back on the download, alternatively you can switch to the web version.

    We'll let you know as soon as we have this completely resolved

    Kind regards

    Hi Everyone,

    Our technical team have confirmed that this should be resolved now.

    If your download application had a problem and is not laoding then you will need to uninstall and reinstall it again from the website here


    This could only affect customers who attempted a download or update between 8am and 12.20pm today.

    If you are still having problems with the download client then please get in touch with customer care for assistance

    Kind Regards
