Cannot download files from certain websites: log-in prompt

Hi, I am for some reason getting a log-in prompt when clicking on downloadable files from certain websites (pdf files, etc.). It is especially strange because it is happening on multiple sites, which gave me no problem downloading in the past. This is particular to my computer, and it is happening in different locations, so it can't be a problem with my isp or something.
I am getting this prompt:
"To view this page, you need to log in to area "PAGE TITLE" on "www.address.com:80"
Your password will be sent in the clear."
(Where PAGE TITLE and address.com are specific to the page I'm trying to access)
I've tried giving a username and password, but it didn't work. I tried emptying my cache and deleting cookies, renewing my ip address, to no avail. I do not use any proxies, so I am really confused now.
I've found no documentation of anyone else having this issue.
Any help would be appreciated!

i figured it out... it was just a strange coincidence, nothing wrong after all.

I cannot download files from some websites

Since upgrading to ver 5.0, I cannot download statements from many of my financial websites. I am forced to start IE or Opera to download. Sometimes I am able to right click the link, and do 'Save Link as' and it will download, but not all. My Verizon bill is the latest failure today. When I clock on the link, I get a new tab opening that shows 'about:blank' in the web link, and says 'done' in the status bar. It does nothing after that.

When reading about the antivirus, I didn't equate that to the iPhone. Since antivirus software cannot run in the background on an iPhone, that isn't it and if pop-up blockers was enabled before I doubt that has anything to do with it either.
Is the statement in PDF format?

Cannot Download Files from Certain Web Site

There is a website I must use for work quite often. Whenever I try to download or open a file from the site, I get the following error:
Safari can't open the file.
Safari can't open the file ""2010 Pennsylvania Release Notes.pdf" because ""2010 Pennsylvania Release Notes.pdf" has moved since you downloaded it.
I am using a Windows XP machine and these files work fine with any other browser. I really want to make Safari my default browser, but it is out of the question as long as this continues to happen with Safari alone.

I just noticed, when I try downloading a PDF file using Safari from this website, it puts a " in front of the file name. It does not do this with any other browser. I think this may be what is causing the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!!

With Firefox 4, I cannot download files from the internet. Please help me !

I cannot download files from the internet (with Firefox 4). I was able to until this upgrade. I am disappointed.
The site specifically is www.c64g.com/games.php?q=p

What buttons do you get to click on with this message? What browser are you using (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer...)

Problems with Yahoo, I Cannot download files from my mail or logout from my account.

Recently, I have discovered that I cannot logout from my Yahoo account without closing Firefox, which clears my history. Also, I have problems downloading files from my email. At first I thought maybe Yahoo was having some issues but when I use Safari, I don't have these problems. Any idea as to what my problem could be?

I can't think any way in which Adobe Reader is involved in downloading pics from your camera. If you think Adobe is involved, check the name of the Adobe software you are using, they make lots of stuff.

Why can't I download file from any websites?

Whenever I try to download files from filesharing sites like mediafire, I click the download button and the page appears to be loading and nothing happens.
After several tries, I found out that while the page is loading, it is actually downloading the file because the time it takes for the page to load before the "open" or "save file" windows come out depends on the size of the file. And immediately after I click "save file" the download is done, and I can open whatever I downloaded. The time ranges between 5min to 30min depending on the file size.
Usually the "save file" window will display immediately when I click on the download button, the the fire fox download window will show the progress of the download and % of completion. But no, for me nothing appears in the download window, and I don't get to see the progress of my download until it is apparently "completed" after the webpage finished loading.
I have tried every solution that I know, cleaning my browser history and cookies, resetting firefox, clearing up my computer's registry, even did a clean reinstall of firefox, wiping everything including my bookmarks, but none of these solves the problem. I am also pretty sure that my firefox extension are not the ones to blame as I did do a test download after a clean reinstall, which did not work as well.

My problem is fixed after I set the firefox connection settings from "use system proxy setting" to "no proxy". After setting to no proxy, the downloads happens as it should.
but my question now is what is system proxy? and what is the difference between using these 2 different options?

Cannot Download files from internet on my main account

I have had my macbook for about 3 months, and recently i havent been able to download files from the internet on my main account...i have had to switch between accounts. Is there anyway to fix this? Or to transfer all my files from one account to another? any help would be greatly appreciated

That sounds odd...
Any error messages? What happens when you try to download an item? Have you tried downloading to a specific, non-desktop, folder?

At times I cannot download files from Firefox, but I can in IE

Hello,
My problem is twofold. Firstly at least once in three, I cannot download my attachments from gmail. What happens is the download window flashes up for a half second. Then it disappears. The file is NOT downloaded in the appropriate folder (or anywhere else), I have checked that.
Secondly, I am trying to listen to a radio station from the website below, but anytime I click on the Listen link, nothing happens except for the download window flashing for a half second. Then it disappears. I can only assume it is a .pls file as most internet radios have a file with such an extension for their playlist.
Both errors have been occuring since the update of 3.6.10.
Thanks for any insight.

The eLocity A7 tablet you have should technically work with the mobile Firefox.
It has Android 2.2 and most importantly a ARMv7 type of cpu, a NVIDIA Tegra II T20 and it has 512MB RAM.
mbrubeck who works on mobile Firefox has been recommending to try the Firefox 9 Beta's because it includes a new interface designed especially for Android tablets.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta
Current mobile Firefox 9.0 Beta 4 for Android (will need to manually update):
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/9.0b4/android/multi/fennec-9.0b4.multi.eabi-arm.apk
mobile Firefox 8.0 for Android:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/latest/android/multi/fennec-8.0.multi.eabi-arm.apk

Firefox cannot transfer information from certain websites.

I am able to load a problem website, but subsequent pages on the same website are not transferred. A message appears at the left bottom side of the page indicating that the requested information is being transferred from the website, but nothing happens. This is happening with only one website when using Firefox. The website does work correctly using Internet Explorer.

+Thanks very much for the quick reply!! I've spent so long trying to figure this out.+
Mail
On your new computer;
run Mail: then go to File / Import Mailboxes, and navigate to the mailboxes on the G3.
+Well that worked! Sort of anyway.+
+Any of the imported emails all say: "The message from whoever <[email protected]> concerning “whatever” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it". So I can see the sender name and the date but not the actual message which of course is not too helpful. The account is online so I don't understand the message.+
Address Book
On your G3, create a new folder on your desktop and call it vCards. Next open Address Book, select all the addresses, then go to File / Export vCard, and select the folder you created as the destination. Next, on your new computer, open Address Book, and use File / Import to get the vCards from the folder on the G3's desktop.
+Great! That worked perfectly. I had tried this before but was trying to just import. Didn't realize I had to export then import.+
iTunes
I do not have a clue, since I have never run iTunes.
+Ha ha! Well I thought I would try to just export the library and then import it similar to what I did with the Address Book, but doing that just imports the names of the playlists, not the actual songs. I'll go post this under itunes, so it doesn't get too confusing. What are you using instead of iTunes by the way?+

Cannot download files from the internet

Two G4 Macs, both on OS 10.4.6. Desktop (ethernet connection) will not download files/apps -- hit the button and it very quickly flickers and says "done" but nothing has downloaded. Laptop (Airport connection) will download correctly from the same sites. Have repaired permissions, and have tried turning off firewall (Norton) with no result. Obviously some setting in the desktop, but I'm perplexed...

Hi Michael,
hit the button and it very quickly flickers and says "done" but nothing has downloaded
That description sounds like a bad/incompatible SpeedDownload installation. Do you recall installing that in the past?
Either way, try going to http://www.yazsoft.com -> Downloads and then download the installer by control-clicking/right-clicking on the download link and choose "Download Linked File". Once downloaded, run the installer, but select the Uninstall option.
Give your browsers a restart and retry after trying the uninstallation.
Edit: All Comp's are Model T's, try the same procedure as well. Hopefully $5 will be on their way to me

Computer freezes and I cannot download files from PC to droid!

Any thoughts on why my pc locks up when I connect the Droid?? Also, I am unable to download any files; music, pics,ect..!! I contacted HTC, to no avail! I re-set factory settings, (lost all my contacts) re-booted. Nothing!   Any one have a similar scenario?? Help

Check JYoon’s post on disabling CD ROM mode on your device. (Post below)
http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-Incredible-by-HTC/Computer-connection-issue-MAC/td-p/299898
2. Once complete, put your device in Mass storage mode. I have provided the instruction in an article below:
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=31795
Connect the phone to your computer using the supplied USB cable.
2.      When the Connect to PC dialog box appears, tap Disk drive, and then tap Done.
3.      On your computer, the connected phone is recognized as a removable disk. Navigate to this removable disk and open it.
4.      Do one of the following:
Copy the files from the computer to the phone’s storage card’s root folder. Copy the files from the phone’s storage card to a folder in your computer or computer desktop.
5.       After copying the files, un-mount the removable disk (that is, the connected phone) as required by your computer’s operating system to safely remove your phone.
6.         Do one of the following:
Disconnect the phone from the computer. If you want to keep the phone connected to the computer but want the phone to be able to access the storage card, open the Notifications panel, tap Disk drive, select an option except Disk drive, and then tap Done. See “Opening the Notifications panel” in this chapter to learn how to open the Notifications panel.
*Once in mass storage mode, the device should pop up on your computer as a device letter. If not, or if your computer freezes up again, try another USB port.
*Also try restarting your computer.

Cannot download files from services like Rapidgator any longer

Use Firefox as my browser. High speed connection via Comcast on a 1-year old HP laptop running Windows-7, protected by Kaspersky.
This just started yesterday afternoon - when trying to "Download" a File from services like RAPIDGATOR
when I hit the "Download" button it just goes to "Searching" and the file never opens. This is also happening with other file services I subscribe to. I have already deleted my "History" and "Cookies" and it did not help. Also tried to download with Kaspersky turned off, that did not help.
any ideas?

We are experiencing some proxy issues, this bump should be cleared up shortly with version 18.0.1 to land.
Thank You!

Cannot download files from filesonic

I cannon download a file from Filesonic using the "slow download" button. Normally when in click on the the "slow download" it take me to screen where I have to wait 30 seconds. With the latest upgrade this no longer happens.

That sounds odd...
Any error messages? What happens when you try to download an item? Have you tried downloading to a specific, non-desktop, folder?

Cannot download files from private published site

I am using the "published site private" option settings to control user access with a user name and password. This site has a page with links to pdf files stored on my me.com account. The pdf items are to be opened and downloaded by users who access this page through the security settings.
With the security settings removed the process to download files works OK
With security settings enabled, the user name and password successfully open the site but the pdf items will not open and cannot be downloaded.
What am I doing wrong?

You can protect PDF files with a password and user name. When you go to save the document as a PDF file, i.e. Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save as PDF, there will be a window to set password and user name.
Click to view full size
That would work for files to be downloaded but not for the pages themselves.

Cannot download drivers from Toshiba websites - download iterrupts

Hi all,
been using tosh and it's support site for years now.
Just recently when i'm downloading drivers from support pages every other one comes down corrupted.
Small ones seem fine but larger ones, anything over 40meg pulls down very quickly and windows reports as corrupted.
This isn't just one machine, XP, WIn7, WIn8, Server 2008, all do this, also at different sites.
We do connect to the web using a corporate proxy.
I have no problems downloading anything from homepage 200-300MB at a time or any other sites.
This is just Toshiba.
I have tried the Europe site and the Australia sites, all do the same.
Unless anyone can offer a reason or solution here then i'm gonna go poke our server team in the eye and blame them.
Is it just me?
Thanks
Gareth

Thanks for your replies.
Still getting 40k download speeds from any toshiba site, our server team have replicated the problem too.
They have even bumped my web traffik past the corporate firewall and it's still happening.
Can download anything from M$ at 1.1meg per sec.
Still bombing out after 1 or 2 mins and getting corrupted zip downloads.
I'll keep trying.
Many Thanks
Gareth
