You have to wait two weeks from your join date before you can download local videos.

Okay, you click to download and you get the box that pops up and you click save? Then what? Does the box just disappear or does it ask you what folder you want to save the vid in? You have to actualy download the video - if you were hoping to stream it - you download it onto your computer, then open it up in your media player manually.

Now, if the box *does* disappear after you click 'save' then there's something strange going on. More details, please. ^_^

Yea i seem to be having the same troubles as furyofthesword like when i click on the download box it will ask me to save and after i select the directory i want it will start but only downloads a few k. Then the box will say its complete and thats it really. I mean the most I've managed to download was 1/2 a meg other than that all i can get is usually les than 100k done. I hope that this is detailed enough for you to give us an answer. I do feel rather embarassed tho cause i hate asking for help

.

Thanx

Hey,

Do you have an example video that you are trying to get? Perhaps it was in improper upload. What operating system and browser are you using? What speed of network are you using (dial-up, DSL, cable, school network)?

Well Im running on windows xp pro and have a dsl connection. From the vidoes i can remember trying to download there was "Ariack - Mistress" I think and "Huntress", they were the names i think. But the downloads seem to say that they have completed their downloads when they have only completed a few kb. I hope this info is sufficient.

Thanx again

Hey,

I run WinXP as well. I'm perdy sure that Internet Explorer is trying to do something for you that it's messing things up for you. I've found that Internet Explorer tries to do soooo much stuff for your "convienence" because you are probably "technical idiot" that I have just switched browsers for good:

It's free. It's fast. It doesn't try to do stupid things to "help you out". Give that a try and see if that helps. Otherwise, you can try to find the "helper" item that is breaking the simple download process (or perhaps someone else can point it out).

Good luck!!

Phade.
