| 72395 | 2002-08-19 07:19:00 | hi everyone, i've have been experiencing a problem that is very annoying, whenever i click on an html link to download, it starts to download then just completes in a second , when i open the file it says that the file is corrupted and may need to be downloaded again. i used DAP to download the stuff and it works with the DAP method, but when normally downloading it never works, this only started happening after i reformatted and installed windows XP, when i had win me it worked fine. please give me a solution to fix this issue that is annoying me very much. cheers, v.K------------- :D |

| 72399 | 2002-08-20 06:38:00 | Is this one file, from one site that you are having trouble with? It could easily be an empty file at the other end. That would explain what is happening. Such things happen. Often. ;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 72400 | 2002-08-20 10:37:00 | this happens at every single site i try to download from, when i right click and go to 'download with DAP' it works and downloads properly, but if i do the normal way then it doesn't work. Anymore suggestions appreciated. cheers, v.K--------------- :D |
