Hi All,
I have just recently begun to have a problem downloading files from a
particular site.
They use the following syntax to link to their downloads.
http://65.77.159.100/cgi-bin/fosi.cgi?arp "Note : No, I don't deal in warez,
but I wanted to test out one of the programs that didn't have a demo
download." : )
Yesterday afternoon, I could download without any problems, now, it just
keeps redirecting me and reloading the same page.
The only thing I did was install FlashGet and a plug-in for it called
FlashCheck. I couldn't get it working correctly, so I uninstalled them both.
Now, I can't download from sites that use that syntax.
There is a FAQ on that site and here's the answer he gives for my problem :
"Q: I can`t download anything! Page reloads or I get an error message.
A: Please read the answer carefully,
because it's the most asked question.
You should temporarily disable software that blocks
http-referers ("referer" tells where user comes from)
such as webfilters (Proxomitron, WebWasher, etc.),
proxys and some firewalls (Norton Internet Security, etc.),
because some software have disabled referers by default
(verify your software settings). Otherwise you might not be
able to download the files."
I do not have any webfilters, proxys or firewalls running, so I don't know
what is causing the problem. I tested the site on another machine and it
works fine.
Also, I am now getting errors on my regularly visited web pages, ie.
microsoft.com, aol.com. Two messages I got when I logged into www.aol.com
are as follows :
First :
Error : Can't execute code from a freed script
URL : http://webmail.aol.com/msglist.adp
Second :
Error : Variable uses an Automation type not supported in JScript
URL : http://webmail.aol.com / msglist.adp
It seems like I am having a problem with JavaScript or something...just a
guess.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!!!!!
Thank you,
Stacey
