Enkil,

Sorry for the late reply. Don't worry, I'm here.

I can't really try it right now beause my brother is on the computer. As soon as he gets off, I'll try it again.

I'm using my slower computer right now!

Regards,

Trav.

ohhh ok

before, did u try to download ftp://***/test.zip, did it work?

if u want just try it on this computer, and tell if it downloads, (just for testing)

Yeah, I tried that. Do you remember when I had trouble downloading Pierre's finale video clips? Well, the same message comes up. It says "done", but nothing else shows up. Ironically, when I typed in "mpg" in the address bar instead of zip, I was directed to a page with a small Quick Time icon in the middle of the page.

I figured that it didn't work, so then I tried something else. I just right clicked on the "test" link you posted in the e-mail and went to "save target as." This worked, and it downloaded an saved the file to the computer. It then asked where to save it, obviously, and I just saved it on my desktop so I could access it easily when it's ready. After, I clicked on the saved file, which was called "test," and got an error message saying "the file may be corrupted or invalid."

This is the problem. I'll try what you said, though. I could be doing something wrong. Ill just delete the old saved file and try it again, step by step. I'll follow your instructions.

ok, u know what im going to do?

im going to setup a webpage for u, this will be easier

Enkil,

Wait a minute! I don't want you to go through all this trouble just for me! Setting up a web page could take more time.

Let me follow your advice one more time and see what happens.

Regards,

Trav.

no, i actually meant to make a webpage on geocities, with the link on it
i did it already
ull see when u open the site

im about to sent u an email, so when ure able to start downloading again, check ure email box

Enkil,

I got your e-mail. I tried it on my other computer, cuz my brother is still on the one I usually use, and it worked! I assume it will be the same on the other PC!

Thanks for your help. I'll just verify everything on my other PC!

Thx!

Trav.

Yes!!!!

i was just checking my log, and i saw u were able to download the test file!

thats really kewl!

Enkil,

Thank you so much for all your help! I appreciate it!

I just have to see if I can do it on my other PC. It should be ok. How long does it take to download the big file? This depends on speed, though.

It shouldn't take that long to do.

Regards,

Trav.

i really not know how long it will take

Smoke, i just saw u trying to download, the speed was at 60kb/s, the max i can upload, how much time did it say it will take?

i see u trying to download the source file, i forgot to rename the file to .txt, im going to do it now, sorry about it

u can refresh the page and download it

Never mind,

I just checked the file longevity for it to download. It takes about almost 2 hours.

It should be much faster on my other PC. I still have to check.

Once again, thx!

Regards,

Trav.

Smoke,

maybe u can ask ure brother to let u just download the file, and then he can continu working on the computer

this way, when hes finish the file will be finished too

Oh yeah, I tried to download the source file, but it wasn't working after I downloaded it. It said that there was an invalid file. Well, as you say, it will be corrected.

Trav.

ok u can download that now

just refresh the page and download it

I'll see, he's actually playing Unreal Tournament on the PC and he's really addicted to it!

I'll go see if I can get him off and we'll resume from there.

Trav.
