I was trying to download some files using Unison, on the file description it says the files are 103mb but Unison stop at 23MB and tells me that the files are complete. Would anybody know what the problem is here?
View 3 RepliesI found Unison to be the best newsreader for mac. I have been desperately trying to be able to connect it to my usenet provider (Astraweb). I input all my connection details exactly correct, username, password, port, server name etc...and no luck. When I attempt to connect I receive:
However, I have used Thunderbird and NewsBin under the exact same settings and can connect just fine with no problems. I honestly have tried everything I know how to troubleshoot this problem.
I keep running into applications that I can't run because the installer downloads as separate files.
It'll have a file with all sorts of pieces to the program but nothing that brings it together to run it. If there is it's only an autorun- I try the autorun(.inf) and it says there's no application specified to run it.
I have run across these types of applications more times than I can count. Every time I can't find how to make them work, and so I have to give up on them. These programs I download ARE made for Macs, so it's very frustrating- I don't understand. My husband said those types simply can't be run on a mac.
does the transmission torrent app let anyone download my files on my mac?
without my permission?
I cannot hook my iBook directly up to the Internet here in iraq. However, I am able to download files and transport them to my mac via a usb drive.Where can I go to download some icons? I searched for Candybar icons but only got like 4 sites with real crappy icons
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am running the latest version of Transmission. When I open a torrent and de-select several files (except for one album) the download will not start. It is almost like the tracker will not update.
There are no Seeds, Peers or anything. It says "Time Remaining Unknown"
I have attached the torrent files as TXT files if you are willing to rename the file to a .torrent file.
I am only downloading one album from each of these torrents. Pinkerton, by Weezer and Double Fantasy by John Lennon.
These torrents are healthy. Not sure why this would happen.
I'm downloading different files into excel (some tab delimited, some csv, some xls) from different places and they all open in excel with incredibly weird formatting. Basically the separation of each column makes no sense. When other people download the same exact files, their files appear normally, with each category in a different column. So there's something going on with my excel.
When I download a credit card statement, for example, it comes out like this:
"02/03/2010$18""82USPS 35960795520803QPS NEW YORK XXXXXXXXXXXXXX48(Standard Purch)"
With the quotes showing the columns... so the date and half of the price are in one column and the cents from the price and the vendor and the last four digits in the second column.

When I get an attachment like a word doc, some really small file, I have no problem to download/view it. But in the same mail, if there's one bigger file, powerpoint/zip etc, no matter how many times I tried to save it, view it, download it, I just have no way to do it. I am using Mac OS x.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo a while ago i installed iGetter and jDownloader to handle some of my downloading needs. These have both been uninstalled a while ago and i seem to have the problem that if i navigate to a file in my browser it will not download, it just sits there and does nothing.This is really anoyying as i can't download any files anymore
I presume one of these applications has disabled this behaviour in os x so that it can hijack it and use the app to download files. Does anybody know how to revert this so that browsers can handle downloads properly?
I've been having trouble downloading files from an ftp server (URL) on Finder and while it does fully download eventually, it takes a while and if I click the x to stop it, the download won't stop. Is this a known problem with Finder, is it a glitch, or is it my internet connection.

Here's my problem: I'd very much like to download an embedded flash video from this page: http://bit.ly/d24fEU. (One has to click 'start' for the flash to load.)
But web developers have become wily it seems. No longer do the old methods appear to work. I've tried: Apps for downloading youtube videos, using the Activity window in Safari (only a small SWF file of about 21kb appears in the activity window), numerous Firefox plugins� To no avail.
There are apparently apps for Windows that can manage to download these tricky types of videos, is there anything or any method on the Mac? I've been ripping my hair out trying. I've searched the forum, but none of the suggested methods work.
Upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 then thru software updates on to 10.5.8 this weekend. All went well except for a glitch in Mail that I fixed by deleting p.list and editing outgoing Smtp server. My new problem is I went to download my bank statement which always in in PDF format and it downloaded fine, except the file extension is now a .jsp. Do I need to reset something inside preferences? I am mystified. The bank has made no changes to their format. Preview still opens PDF files.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been working at my job for 6 months now and the entire time that i have been here, i have not been able to download any files that are on the larger side (10MB+). Every once in a while a large update from apple will go through correctly, but its very rare. .dmg files will not mount and .zip files wont expand.
Ive tried everything i can think of, no luck.
Normally what I do for updates and software is go home and download from there and bring everything back on a jump drive and it works just fine.
Im on a 2008 imac and really the only difference from work to home is the Panda GateDefender blocker here at work. Could that be what is stopping me from downloading anything large? No one here knows exactly what the deal is...ive tried downloading on a PPC G4 and windows XP (on an actual PC). None have been able to download what i need.
Im tired spending all night at home getting files and updates for work.
I have Microsoft office 08 and can make .docx files with Word, but when I download an attachment off the internet, it makes a .zip file with lots of random folders.
View 1 Replies View Related^^That's my problem, tried different browsers and different users (note: both were admins), nothing works.
As an example:
I got to -> [URL]
Then click on Download iArchiver, the browser screen goes white (not everything, just the 'display' side of it), and it keeps loading and loading with the [URL]
It also sometimes makes a difference if I 'Block pop-up windows' or not, if I don't, the already described happens, otherwise it simply goes back to the window where I clicked on 'download' (note: this has happened so far only while trying to download firefox and blocking pop-up windows)
Have not had any problems with pdf files till today.Click on a pdf link and nothing, just blank page. I can still view pdf files in my earlier documents and downloads.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm in medical school and I can watch videos of my lectures online when I am on campus ONLY (I suppose it only allows certain IPs on the site.) This proves to be very frustrating because I have to commute an hour to campus just to watch the videos. I was wondering if there was a way to just simply go to campus and download the videos. (FYI I'm not sure if this is helpful but I have I just got the brand new macbook, I have quicktime pro but I could only get the video (no audio). to get audio I had to download windows media player. I had flip4mac and that would only give me video only as well, no audio. I've been told that only WMP will work by multiple people. I have XP under bootcamp if that is at all helpful. But once again I would just like to simply download the videos so that I no longer have to come to campus to get them.
