Download problems

I've read the FAQ, and don't see anything specifically related that answers the problem. I tried the Direct link for Euphoria and Local link for Bride of Berserk, and in both cases they brought up the normal DL window and took the appropriate time and hit 100%, however the file left on my drive is around half the size of what its supposed to be.

That is: Bridge of Berserk is 18.7mb/33mb, and Euphoria is 33mb/85mb

I can't explain it, as I've never had a download issue like this before in 10+ years online >.> The download ticks along the MB properly, but then its like half the file just isn't there when you hit Open. MPC opens it, and sure enough it only plays around the first half.

Obviously, you only downloaded half the file somehow.

Try again, possibly with a different browser.

Not to be rude, but I sat there watching the numbers tick by, and they didn't magically skip from like 50% to 100% ... it was a normal solid progression. And I tried it for both a Local and Direct link, 2 different videos even. I shouldn't *have* to use Opera/Firefox/Konqueror/Safari/whatever to get a working download when IE is 90% of the browser market >.>

There are these things called W3C standards. IE doesn't do them. Marketshare is no counter-argument to this.

Anyway, just try Firefox. For one, it's a better browser. For two, if it happens there then we know something else is at work. This is a debugging tactic, and it won't work without your cooperation.

Sorry for snapping at you before, but I had to work 12, 13, 10hr shifts this weekend and it seemed like you were trying to make some snap remark to me like I didn't know what I was doing, so I got irritated >.>

I downloaded an AMV on the work computer, and that one completed properly, although it wasn't one of the other two I tried at home.
