Oh terrapin?

[canadian_wolf]

Your site is umm killing me lol. ya see i'm trying to download a mod and any mod that i download it goes through on your page to the "the download will start shortly" part and then it completly dies goes to gibberish. i've tried in IE and firefox and still goes into many pages of giberish. thanks in advance for any help.

there seems to be no trouble shooting on your site besides the handbook, and the shoutbox was useful in this way but alas it was not ment to be.

This is a known issue of IE since - at least - 3 years...

found the snippet below in my textfile archive - must be from early 2004 (no source link, sorry):

If you aren’t familiar with this misfeature, well, it’s a “everyone’s at fault” thing where Apache serves up files with unknown extensions with a default MIME type, rather than with no MIME type at all, so Internet Explorer only rarely believes the server-provided MIME type, and instead looks at the content and decides what it really is.

It certainly isn’t an “everyone’s at fault” thing. From RFC 2616 (the HTTP 1.1 specification):

If and only if the media type is not given by a Content-Type field, the recipient MAY attempt to guess the media type via inspection of its content and/or the name extension(s) of the URI used to identify the resource.

Basically, any attempt at file type guessing when a Content-Type header is supplied is a flat out violation of the specification. The blame entirely lies with Internet Explorer. "

I'd recommend Firefox - it's better in almost every technical and security aspect.

A d/l manager (all should work) together wie IE could also help. AFAIK IE has no problems with *.zip files, - *.rar, *7.z and most multipart things are affected.

What's the big deal having two browsers on a system?...I have 5 here in the office box

[canadian_wolf]

no big deal at all i use firefox damn near exclusivly i find it much better then IE, i only used IE after firefox decided to do that wierd thing lol

Thanks for asking this question, I have same problem, and it causes my computer to almost lockup on me. I was told to right click once before, but not where you said. I will try this, and hope it works. I really want to download some of the Realworld Video's like the Die series.

Nope , still no good

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I think terrapin is getting sick of me PM'ing him about this. HELP ! ! ! And yes, I have Firefox, maybe it's because I have the newest Beta version ?

negative, 2.0 works fine here.

Nah, I'm only getting sick of every programming team creating it's own 'standard'...

[Tuddley3]

OK, I got it working now terrapin. Parts 2,3,4 downloading now. I knew it was me, not your site.
Sorry for the confusion, and thank you for your patience terrapin.

Strange that it happens with Firefox. Have used it excluively since it was first released and never had this issue with UBRS

That's the nice thing about standards, there's so many to choose from.

Now I've got to figure out how to get Die Jaeger to work. I have all files, including the recovery files, but still get "Unknown or damaged" when running exe. There is no Read Me file for instructions on what to do. It's taken me 2 months to figure this out, now I have all files and can't install it.

Anywhere I can go to find Read Me or FAQ on this ?

,download + install quickpar

- Drop ALL files in one dir

- in the quickpar window, choose repair
- after repair has been finished, double click on the rar. exe (to join the splitted archive)
