Help Me Please

TLDR: I recently got a new computer and now when im trying to install maple i get an error right when the downloader is about to finish. Its failing when it is trying to install pando media booster.

Once it is complete downloading this, something pops up and says:
"Your system is currently not allowing access to our servers. Check your firewall and/or security software settings to allow PMB.exe to run.
Visit the help page or contact us at downloader at pandonetworks.com for further assistance
Would you like to retry the connection."
And i click retry and it still does not work. I disabled my firewall and anti virus before i did the download so its not that. What do i do?

I haven't looked at how Steam installs Maplestory, but that's possible.

Pando is a "torrent client" that makes you download the Maplestory game installer from OTHER PLAYERS, instead of Nexon paying for the bandwidth. Sometimes it has problems connecting to its servers, and that looks like what's happening in your case.

I'm not sure if Steam has you download the game directly from Steam file servers, or if they hand it off to the Pando thing and do it the Nexon way, but it's certainly worth a try. You'd have to join Steam and make an account there, then download Maplestory from them and see how it goes.
