Download problem again
Link | by kakashi on 2006-03-20 19:13:09
the naruto song i just posted yesterday is still having prob. Read the FAQ already. I use right click>save target as but is says the connection could not be establish. I do not use any download accelerator.

[Quote From FAQ]Why do I get an error message, "A connection to the server could not be established."?
This is because you are attempting to download from my server using a forbidden software. Remember, you may not stream downloads, and the use of download accelerators is strictly prohibited! Here is a list of software which may NOT be used to download: FDM (File Download Manager), DA (Download Accelerator), RMA (Real Media Audio), GetRight, RealPlayer, Windows-Media-Player, WinampMPEG, StarDownloader, NetPumper, FreshDownload, LeechGet, NSPlayer.

I'm not using any. Just normal download method. I'm using internet explorer version 6. Any ideas? I've switch between my 2 coms and laptop but the same thing happens.Sorry for posting again

Um, for the FAQ, I think FDM should be referred as 'Free Download Manager' instead of 'File Download Manager'. Well, some of them people fail to identify 'Free Download Manager' as a downloading software. ^_^;

Behold the possibilities ! The end is merely the start of a new history !

all i know is, people with "FDM" in their user agent tend to disobey 404 headers.
any computer that disobeys 404 headers, wether it is labeled as "download software" or not, is unacceptable and causes damage to the server.

ignorance of one's own actions is not an excuse.
if you step on a bee by accident, or on purpose, it may sting you.
thats life.

Thats weird. I do not have any free download manager as I only use the com. More over, i don't own any download manager except bittorrent clients which do not download any http link files. Although i can save the file but it's in html format. I'm using broadband connection so download manager aren't useful

Sounds more like this FDM stuff is a result of getting loaded by Spyware.

Good point Deona. That kinda explains the 'weird' situation. :P

it doesnt matter what is in your "add/remove list"!
all that matters is the user-agent your browser sends.
maybe try using firefox?
