I click download and...NADDA!

Post by midorikossoul » Mon Sep 26, 2005 8:52 pm

:? I've tried. And I've tried. And I've waited. And I've watched. Nothings happening! I wait a few minutes for the download to start (after 10 seconds supposedly) or the link to pop up and nothing happens... Can some one please help me?

i'm having the same issue. when i joined i downloaded 3 vids....come back a couple of days later and i cant download at all! I've rated the downloaded vids in case that was the problem - tried multiple ways of downloading from right clickin and saving target as, to simply reloading the page a few times...but all i get is a lil active x box sayng the download has been blocked. I clicked on options and pressed 'download anyway' or whatever to by-pass the block, but still nothing.

The best solution to this problem is to stop using IE. I used to have a method to fix this in Internet Explorer...lemme search through my posts, I'll find it...

Tools/Internet Options/Security tab

Click on "Custom Level"

Scroll through that list until you find "Automatic prompting for file downloads" Click on "Enable" under that. Bam. Easy, right?


There ya go.

yes...easy....except that it was already enabled (it was something i made sure to check when i first started having problems)

And...meh - IE is the only browser i can use - i do have aol, but i cant use it at uni cos it stops my family using it at home.

....ok...i know what happened >_< the comp didnt shut down properly, so it reset all the changes i made to the security. damn laptop - it has an odd habit of resetting random stuff (like the speaker volume and stuff)

ok...now thats changed again, lets see what happens.

uhh...did you try pressing and holding ctrl?
usually that's the way to override ie's stupid security thing.
and if you can't stand ie, Mozilla Firefox is free (also safer than ie and you get less pop-ups) just go to http://www.mozilla.org/ to download it.
