Downloads down for me

[G MIDY 101]

Hi all,

 

Sorry if Avsim is already aware - I am having an issue downloading files where I click the download link, then the message appears in my status bar : beginning FTP transaction, afterwards I get asked for a username and password, I used my Avsim file library credentials but the login fails resulting in a 530 authentication error. Sometimes I get a connection reset message without any message to authenticate.

 

Many Thanks!

Hello,

 

Which web browser are you using? Do you use any download manager/accelerator programs?

Hi sorry for the late reply - I gave another browser a try and things work fine. Indeed for me it seems Firefox doesn't work for whatever reason, very strange!

Try logging out from the Library, clearing Firefox cookie cache and then try again.

Confirm issue with Firefox. I tried downloading with IE, no issues. There must be something else with Firefox, because I have it set for clearing everything after exit.

I have both Firefox and Internet Explorer and neither one of them is working when trying to download avsim files..

So far, it seems that there has been a recent change in Firefox that is causing this, but we cannot be sure as we have had some changes in the Library code as well. But without exact error messages and/or error logs it will be almost impossible to determine the exact the cause of this problem.

What exactly is the error message(s) you receive?

I am getting this too with the execption that the FTP connection is never made as after the status bar says Begining FTP transaction the browser, Firfox and IE, just sit there and nothing else occurs.

I can now download files with Firefox, but still can't download files using Internet Explorer 11. The error I am getting is "This page can't be displayed"

 

PS: I use IE11 as my main browser

As I've just said over at the other two topics, try logging out, clearing you cookie cache and then try downloading again.

 

And please send us any error messages you receive.
