File download question

[mikeyshea]

:?: I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this question; if not, my apologies.

I have to access this site on my blackberry. I get a error - "error fetching file" when I try to download any file larger than about 14-15meg. Smaller files do fine. I can dl much larger files from other sites, e.g. esuccubus.com. Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Ps: having good results from ecstasy of agony with determined training.

can you download bigger files from other sites?

How strange... i have never used a blackberry so im sorry i can't be of more help. Does it have a command prompt?

[mikeyshea]

No, can't get to a command prompt so far as I can tell.

Esuccubus uses the same software on its site as wmm and I do fine over there. I really don't think it is a problem on this end with my blackberry since I can make it work on a variety of other sites including sites that use the same system as this one.

I know he's had problems with his hosting and I'm wondering if that may be related.

I am having no problems downloading things, so i don't think it is the site

[lexii]

what if you use "link to file" and listen online. Does that work?

did it work?

[mikeyshea]

No, no luck. I've been having difficulty even getting on the site today. And now, no matter what link I choose in the file section, whether name or link to or whatever, it just reloads the page. It has to be a setting that is not compatible with the browser I have to use with this phone.

I just keep coming back to the fact that esuccubus uses the same software as wmm and I work fine over there. That has to mean there is some difference between the two sites that is making this happen.

We probably use a slightly different download methodology than most of those sites as WMM is designed to force a download rather than let you play the file as music.

Currently, I know it's not very phone friendly, but you aren't the first person to complain, and apparently getting here with a phone is getting more and more common. I have a LONG list of improvements, but support for phones IS on the list.

I'll give it an hour next week, if there's a simple fix I'll implement it.

Thank you so much for the reply and the info. I feel better knowing this issue is known and being addressed. That way I know I don't have to continue looking for a fix. Thanks so much.

You have an awesome site here. I have so much to learn, but it's coming. I'm working on the agony_of_ecstasy file. Getting mixed results. But the induction on that one really seems to work well for me.

Anyway, I digress. Thanks again for looking at this.

I've found that I can't download with my phone, either :( I'm using android - apparently the browser send the file address across to the 'download manager', which is actually a separate app (and doesn't have access to the browser's login cookie) ... so I suspect I'll never be able to get at downloads
