Problem Downloading files with Mozilla Firefox

by **sarnoga** » September 23rd, 2006, 10:25 am

I have been using Mozilla Firefox as my webbrowser and suddenly I can no longer download the mp3s off this site with it. I can still download the mp3s if I use Windows Internet Explorer and I can still download MP3's from other sites using the Mozilla Firefox.

When I click on a link for a file it opens it as though it were another web page and I get a screen full of charachters.

Is anyone else experiencing this same problem?

just a minute, I'll try...

...I just downloaded CurseVoodooDoll without any problems. Are you sure FireFox is causing the problem?

I Use DTA One click and when I start a file DL, it just continually restarts after the DL finishes, but the file never shows up in the directory where I sent it.

Help0 if you can please.

Don't know about DTA, but with Flashgot on Linux it only downloads download.php...doesn't pick up the full redirect. I would imagine this might be the case for any download managers integrated into Firefox

I think my Firefox under Win XP home has a download manager and I have no problems. If I look at the dirrectory while downloading, I will see two files, one with the correct file name and one ending in .part The .part file dissaperes when it is finished.

by **sarnoga** » September 24th, 2006, 6:45 am

I cant figure this out. I don't seem to have a problem with my firefox on any other site. Just on the files here, and its still doing it.

DTA is a download manager for Firefox. DTA stands for Down Them All

by **sarnoga** » September 24th, 2006, 7:17 am

Thanks, Luperci. I used to use that all the time it was great. Then about a year ago I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and the plug in for DTA and a bunch of other stuff quit working.

What version of Firefox are you using.

by **Luperci** » September 24th, 2006, 7:21 am

firfox 1.5.0.7

by **sarnoga** » September 24th, 2006, 7:48 am

I think that might have been the one that gave me problems with DTA. I tried to go back to the old version but the plugin for DTA never worked right after that. The version I am using now is 1.0.7

by **liljonny** » September 24th, 2006, 11:16 am

I have Firefox 1.5.0.7 with no problems.

Huh, the exact same thing is happening to me. I just joined a couple of days ago and the files would download for a while, but now I'm only getting the pages of code. I'm not using Firefox though. I was just downloading through internet explorer.

Just checked again. Cant download with firefox but can with internet explorer. Problem is internet explorer is a pain in the ass and thats why I dont use it.

by **Cwolf_FA** » September 24th, 2006, 5:43 pm

Well, so far nothing I've used to try and download has worked.

by **Luperci** » September 24th, 2006, 6:43 pm

I can DL with flashgot with the net transport 2 dl manager extension.

by **sarnoga** » September 24th, 2006, 7:07 pm

by **sarnoga** » September 24th, 2006, 9:42 pm

Well... I used to be able to download the files in Internet Explorer but now I cant get to the files page with it. It goes there but the page is blank.

In Firefox, if I go to the file page and under file type select the tab for "your files" and then click on LRSubmission which I should have access to I get a page that is blank except for what I have cut and pasted below. Just including this here cause it might be useful information. But then again it might not be.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/warpmymi/public_html/modules/Services/Order.php:520) in /home/warpmymi/public_html/modules/Files/index.php on line 44

by **Cwolf_FA** » September 25th, 2006, 12:48 pm

Yeah. I see the same banner message. On Internet Explorer it doesn't come up at all, and on Safari it loads the page of code and then freezes so I have to force quit it.

by **odlid** » September 25th, 2006, 3:38 pm

Not sure if Linux firefox is the same but....
I middle click the file title to open it in a new tab.
I get a blank (untitled) tab, and the the save file dialog pops up.
Choose Firefox's internal download option (dta and flashgot seem to miss the mark).
And yay.... files download...

Any help?

Thanks I'll try that. As of yet I havent installed any extentions. I just reinstalled Firefox a few days ago after I started having this probelm and so far only have what came with the basic install.

When I am at the file page and right click on the link one of my menu choises is "link propertys"

the properties it shows for the file links is as follows.

http//www.warpmymind.com/modules.php?name=files&file=index&op=PlayFile&ftype=&fid=549

Shrug.

I think im about to give up.

by **sarnoga** » September 26th, 2006, 5:27 pm

I also get this message on the top of the file page. I dont know if it has any relation to the problem or not.

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/warpmymi/public_html/modules/Services/Order.php:520) in /home/warpmymi/public_html/mainfile.php on line 1163

That message is only there sometimes so it probably has nothing to do with it.

by **odlid** » September 26th, 2006, 5:35 pm

Shrugs... sorry dude, I gave it my best shot. Maybe it's something else like Norton Firewall filtering the incoming data? I guess I'll just live happily in Linux land where things work and I know why :)

by **Cwolf_FA** » September 26th, 2006, 6:14 pm

Maybe there's a problem with the accounts or something.

by **sarnoga** » September 26th, 2006, 9:57 pm

Well it seems that if Norton ever quits working properly its almost impossible to straighten it out. And getting any help from the people at Symantec is harder than pulling teeth.

I guess there will be no more downloading files for me until I find a new Internet Security Program.

by **willingsub** » September 27th, 2006, 8:36 am

If the problem is Norton, you may be able to solve it by using IE once. Norton integrates better with IE, by placing two buttons in the upper bar (on the right of where you type an URL) One of these buttons is 'Internet security'. With the pulldown menu you can change the security settings for the specific page you are viewing. Switching to IE, adjusting the security settings for a specific site, and then going back to Firefox has helped me get around viewing problems more than once.

I hope it helps!

by **Luperci** » September 27th, 2006, 9:59 am

For internet security, I use a combination of PC-Cillan 2002 updated and avg. both of them are antiviral programs that also scan the pages that I am at and scan any files that I am D/L. PC-Cillan also has a good firewall in it

by **Cwolf_FA** » September 27th, 2006, 1:14 pm

I really don't think it's the downloaders that are messing up. Me and sarnoga have two completely different browsers and programs we're using for downloading and we're having the same problem. Also I'm 100% sure that I didn't change anything on my computer between the time that I downloaded my first files and the time that the downloads stopped working.

I'm sure it was Saturday(23), because it was the day after I joined.

Safari does not work for me either. All I get is gibberish code. For some reason the files have the extension "filename.mp3.html". Why am I downloading html files?
