.ORG downloading problem

ShredPirate · Post by **ShredPirate** » 06 Oct 2004 20:46

for some reason, EVERYTIME i try to download a video from footbag.org, the download just stops way before the file finished downloading. i end up having to start it all over again.

this isn't a problem for the smaller files that are around 5mb, but when i try and download something that's 40mb or so, the download just hangs at like 5mb, or 13mb. is there anyway to prevent this?

Hi Chris,

that happens to me to sometimes, but I use and d/l manager so I can resume the file. Maybe you want to try that.

I kind of have the same problem. It downloads fine but when I try to watch it my WMP won;t let me play it or it let me play it just to get stuck 20 seconding in on a frame.

It wouldn't let me play vaska raw

melissa, have you tried to update your xvid codec?
the exact file size of the video should be 43.114.496 (look it up under
the file's properties).

I never had problems with .org so far. sometimes it's a bit slow, but
most of the time it's actually quite speedy..

Melissa, try downloading the Nimo Codec Pack.

Be careful with the installation though; make sure you have only the
xvid codec (Nic's Build) selected. If you install all of the codecs at once,
some codecs may interfere with each other, and right now, you only
want a working xvid codec. If that doesn't help, try downloading the
video again.

Hope this helps. Bjoern

Jaegermeister is my all-time favorite hard liquor.
And I learned something new about it meaning "hunter".
Which makes sense, because of the whole deer story.
