Anyone prepared to help Jimbuna please?
 
I,ve been having considerable difficulties with my file storage on FF recently but most of those problems are behind me now.

There are however 8 files still being a bit problematic.

Could a few of you nice kind people d/l the following files, save them to desktop and post a screenshot of what the files look like please?

http://www.filefront.com/12774688/GWX3.exe

http://www.filefront.com/9255161/GWX2.exe

http://www.filefront.com/12815500/GWX3_CFG_for_SH3Commanders.exe

This pdf file will not download more than 1/3 of its content:

http://www.filefront.com/14272989/Manual_V3.0_Final_without-background.pdf/

I would be grateful if the above file is tested as well.

TIA
Jimbuna

Just tried the PDF, cut out at 7.34MB

Behold the glorious error message -

I couldn't get any of them to open. File Type just says 'File'.

How are they compressed?

Schroeder 08-20-10 10:49 AM

The PDF works fine, but the other files are just a few hundred kb each.

Cheers Tchocky, I'm not getting the Adobe Reader error mesage but the results are as you stated (filesize wise).

I'll have to scrap that pdf and u/l it again.

Great picture Schroder but could you d/l all three alongside each other (they are all small sizes) and post a screenie without the file label please?

This is what I'm experiencing....they are d/l without the '.exe' extention and are therefore non-executable unless I choose the rename file option and add the '.exe' to the end which then changes the file icon to a paw print as in your picture.

FF Tech Support are insistent that they are coming down with the '.exe' extention and there are plenty of d/l numbers which would suggest they may be correct or surely people would have contacted me raising concerns....surely? :hmmm:

I'm hoping the problem is only on my pc.

Did you say the pdf works fine?

A picture of that as well but including the file size would also be appreciated.

And here I thought I was the smart guy by putting the mouse over it to show all the details.:O:
http://foto.arcor-online.net/palb/al...6261326335.jpg
So on my end they are coming with the .exe ending.

The PDF is loading directly in my browser. When I save it to desktop it has the name 2FA3A9ADd01.pdf and has a size of 29.4 MB.
(The name might be a thing that my browser or PDF reader does... I'm often getting PDFs with totally random names like that:roll:)

Just tested the PDF and it downloaded fine, full 24.9mb and 644 pages.

I still have the master copy with the background removed if you think it might help but as far as I can tell, no issues with that link.

Excellent....the only way I can get the paw print is if I manually type in the '.exe' extension.

I've cleared browser cache, ran regvac and cc etc. to no avail so it is obviously a problem at my end.

I'll try similar tests when I've got all my programmes moved to my new system.

many thanks for the help mate...your a star http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Cheers Dan....I still have YOUR original file so it's obviously old bessie at this end, probably gasping her last breath :DL

I suspected it might be because d/l numbers remain healthy and FF Techs have been brand new in they're efforts at giving assistance.

I wish I had NOD for 64bit but I'm hearing it's not yet fully functional/reliable :DL

That's what I experienced as well. Thanks for the hint.

The files are only 845kb, 891kb and 467kb respectively. Is that what they should be?

Schroeder 08-20-10 03:10 PM

@Jim
You're welcome.

Your welcome Steve....remember, NONE OF US IS AS CLEVER AS ALL OF US :DL

The Commander exe should be 476kb....possibly a typo by your good self :03:

Wouldn't surprise me.
