Downloading Problems

[Steve S]

I’m having a few problems with a presentation. I’ve uploaded it to my website several times but I can’t seem to get a decent download. The uploaded file size is exactly the same as the host file but when I download it I only get part of the zip file, and how much I get varies each time. I’m beginning to wonder if it is due to the machine I’m working on (although I can download other files just fine). This is getting to be very frustrating.

Would some kind person do me the favour of attempting to download this file and let me know if you have the same problems?

File location: (right click > save target as)

first try was a failure - -zip came down in a wink'

tried again and got a successful download and zip, readme and exe all worked fine.

see attached as to speed/time - it came to me full rate.

Thanks Ken, you're a Star.

Now all I need to do is give my PC a good thrashing!

Twice I selected "Save" for download and like Ken the zip came down in a flash and when trying to open told to try again as the download was incompatible.

On the third occasion I selected "Open" and everything went like clockwork and the resulting sequence was well worth watching.

Good luck

Steve,

I tried to download it several times, and each time the download started, ran for about 5 seconds, and then quit. It could also be a problem with your web host.

Thanks guys for your time and effort, it is most appreciated. Obviously this needs a little more work.
