Building a Homestead Root Cellar eBook by Brian Thomas & Teri Page

Just purchased the book but I can't download it.  The message says "Oooops. You don't have sufficient privileges to access this message".
What to do?

Hm.  I see your payment and I see it in your stuff.  Normally, you would be able to see a huge download link just above here, kinda like this:

click here to download

Do you see such a link?  

Yes, I see the big download link. I also got an email from Permies with the link. When I click, I get that "Ooops" message. I am logged in at the time I click, naturally.

The same thing happened to me.

I would love to get this sorted for you.  I need a bit more information to help.

For my clarity - when you are looking at this thread (not following the email) and you click the big download link, what is happening?  Is this showing you the "oops" screen?

Can you forward the email you are receiving to PA @ Permies.com, please?

I purchased this book last week, it shows up in My Stuff and that I paid 8.95 but I can't download it. When I scroll to the bottom I see the "Click Here To Download", When I click the button I get the message "Oooops. You don't have sufficient privileges to access this message". I see this is happening to others who have paid. Please someone fix this! Thank you.

Hi Ruth, and welcome to Permies as a poster.  The error you are getting is sometimes due to a conflict between your Cache and the download. If you go into your browser menu, click on history and clear browsing history and cache.
This fixed the problem for me when it happened.  
Best wishes

Hi,
Following the suggestion that it is a browser cache issue, I tried with a different browser (one I never use for Permies) after first deleting all history, cookies, etc.
I still get the "Oops" message when I click on the Download link.
I checked the email about the purchase and it just links to this page.
Just to check, I went into My Stuff and tried downloading some other things I had bought in the past.
They work fine. So it seems to be just this ebook.

John

I bought this book and had no trouble downloading it.  Raven had to help me the first time and now I have no problems.  I have Firefox as my browser and Duck Duck Go as the search engine.  There seems to be no issues.  I have configured Malwarebytes and Adblocker to accept Permies as a safe site.  Not being a particularly savvy techno-file, it took a while but now is working fine.
Good luck with it all

I give this book 10 out of 10 acorns.  This book is a step by step guide to building a root cellar.  It is easy to follow and the pictures help with the understanding of the text.  This type of construction is robust and will double as a bunker if the weather turns to catastrophic.  The attention to detail is what is missing in a lot of similar books.  Building a root cellar is something that I have put off for 20 years but now, with this book in hand, the project has commenced.  It should be a valued and valuable part of every homesteaders reference library.  Congratulations Brian and Teri on both the book and the root cellar.

Hi, still can't download. Tried on Windows as well as Mac. Always get the same "Oooops. You don't have sufficient privileges to access this message". Maybe it's blocking non-US IP addresses?

Incidentally, I am able to download any of the other things in My Stuff, so it's not me, and it's not a general error with downloading from Permies.

Hi John, Rachel, and Ruth, can you please try again as we've made some changes in the backend - and let us know if you have success? Thanks.

We have verified your problem, and found that it is not to do with non-US IP addresses.  Hoping to have it fixed quickly, and will keep you updated here.  So sorry for the trouble!!!

Just tried. Still getting "Oops".

We are still working out the kinks here, but rather than making you all wait for our tech stuff to get sorted out, I just made a new Digital Market listing for this item here:

https://permies.com/wiki/208922/Building-Homestead-Root-Cellar-eBook

It will look identical to this thread, only you should be able to download the ebook.  Please give it a shot, and let me know if it works for you.

You probably just got an email giving you access to this new version.

Thanks everyone, for your help and patience!

Success!  Thank you, Beau!

Thanks Beau. That did the trick!

Hey James, we've moved the product to a new thread, which you can find here: https://permies.com/wiki/208922
It looks identical to this thread. You may be able to download the book immediately from there.
If not, I will sort out access for you.

The original link should now work fine - we've been working on the original issue and it is now resolved, so please try again at the link above (and disregard the new link I sent you above). Thanks James!

Yah, that worked, thank you very much. appreciate the time spent to get it done. cheers james

I give this book 10 out of 10 acorns! While I wish that it had other types of building materials  and cellar styles depicted, I really TRULY appreciated how detailed this book was in explaining how to make the author's root cellar. I have another root cellar book, and it just gives me a few sketches of what to do, measurements, and some descriptive paragraphs. For a non-builder, this was not at ALL enough to give me the confidence to tackle making a root cellar.

I really love how this book gives pictures illustrating each step, and there's good written explanation for the how and why of different steps. They even showed how to make a door!

Another thing I really appreciated was the price break-down! So often there's no real detailing of how much the project will cost. I know prices fluctuate with supply and demand, as well as inflation, but just having this detailed "ballpark" price is supremely helpful to me!

All in all, I very much recommend this book for someone who wants to know how to build a concrete cellar, especially if you're someone who needs more than just building plans. This book doesn't claim to tell you how to use a root cellar or what foods to store and how to store them in a root cellar (though it does touch on those subjects), or how to build various types of cellars. But, it does say it will teach you how to make a root cellar, and it does that very well!
