    Still having download issues?

    Well, I was. Every time I clicked on a link, using FF or IE, the screen would go all white and nothing would happen. I played with my settings and still I was getting nowhere. I started to email everyone and harass them with home phone calls but they just laughed and told me to get a real life, really couple of people got back to me and were helpful, you know who you are and thanks.

    Finally I decided to get a download manager and give that a try. Download Asselerator sucked and did nothing. I tried one form this sitehttp://www.metaproducts.com/mp/default.asp
    and it worked using IE but still no luck with FF, which is preferred for me but hell beggars cannot be choosers.

    If anyone has any other ideas or have given something a try and it worked let all of us know.

    Thanks and I hope someone finds this useful.

        are you running any firewall software? XP SP2 has a built-in firewall that may be turned on.. try disabling it if you have one.

            Can you maybe make screenshots of your extended browser settings in IE and post them here or attach them to an email and send them to me?

              but he is having trouble with ff, not ie (no suprise here, no, no ) I don't know much about configuring ff, but maybe you have the referral info disabled somehow (for security issues or something). This would cause the famous 'quiet leech kill'

                  FlashGet is free and super easy. just open it before you go to download something and when you right-click, save target as, it automatically starts you.
