Downloading

[rock_star]

Hey,

My downloads seem to prefer to stop at around the 96-97% mark. It'll loose it's connection then search, or querie, or be connecting...but never really DOWNLOADING...yeah, I gave it time...like 3 days...but it still doesn't come...kind of a tease ain't it?

I forgot to mention, that sometime it will make it to 99, but then part of it will be dropped due to wrongly served information...then it either goes back to 96% and does what it did before or goes down to 62% and works it way up until it can drop more due to wrongly served information...also, i'm working on dial-up, so it's kind of slow going.

If you are downloading files where a few errors are ok (usually it can be tolerated in audio and video, but not always) you can turn that feature off in the preferences.

That's called downloading a copyrighted file from what I believe is riaa/mpaa servers hosted on Cogent. The ip blocks with the virii/porn/etc are as follows if you want to attempt blocking them:

Cogent servers, possibly riaa/mpaa:
66.28.0.0-66.28.255.255
66.250.0.0-66.250.255.255

Spam bots:
