When I want to download something it won't start...

Hi! This problem just started for me recently. When I click on a download, it won't start. It looks like its starting, but I left it for an hour once and nothing happened. Does anyone know why this might be? I want to fix it, and soon, I don't want to have to resort to finding things on YouTube!

if you have download accelerators, it can prevent/interfere with your downloads from this site.

if you have 10 pending star ratings, you cannot download any more videos until you give star ratings

make sure that you're logged in to your org account (only matters for local links)

Mmm. I know about the last two things, but what are download accelerators?

If you don't know what a download accelerator is then you probably don't have one.

They are programs you can find that'll make DL easier for those on Dial up as instead of just Downloading once for the file it breaks it into parts and each part DL's seperatly (From what I could tell the VERY brief time I used one).

They are great for those on dial up only getting 2-3k DL's at most.

How ever they are hated by alot of sites and servers cause they use extra bandwidth. Many fansub/scanlator sites ask/demand you not use them.

Thank you for that. Now I'm actually able to download things, I just had to wait like an hour for it to start, but the files are empty. X_X;
