Show error in download accelerator plus at 99% on firefox

I used DAP to download videos it shows error on download complete state @ 99%
as,
Downloaded file cannot be saved
Error: The file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect

It's quite clearly trying to run some sort of security scan on the downloaded file and something is broken so it's waiting forever for it to finish.
You can still get to the exe file, right click the download and browse to the folder it's downloading to. Make sure you can see hidden files and also do not have known file extensions hidden (every Windows user should know how to set this) you should see the file you're downloading in there and another file with the same name but with .part on the end. Right click this "part" file and select copy, paste it somewhere else (temp folder) and rename it to what it's supposed to be. Then you should be able to run it.
Alternatively, you can also use another browser to download the same file. Right click the download in Firefox and select "Copy Download Link". Then paste this link into another browser and let that download it.
There's probably something in about:config you can change to prevent the security scan from running ( browser.download.manager.alertOnEXEOpen may be worth a try ). My guess is that some antivirus program you had installed in the past inserted something into Firefox that it didn't bother to remove when the AV software was uninstalled. This kind of thing also used to break Microsoft Office as well.

  • Unable to uninstall Download Accelerator Plus

    hi.
    i installed download accelerator plus in an effort to boost download speeds, now since the trial period is over, i am unable to uninstall.
    i did not use their recommended method of using "uninstall.app", i merely used AppZapper.app to zap it away, and emptied my recycle bin.
    now, even after reinstalling DAP, which detects smartly that the trial period is already over, i am unable to open the "uninstall.app" program
    please help me (i'll award helpful or solved feedback), as i am currently unable to download normally.
    this has affected my firefox.app as well.
    thanks in advance.

    it seems like im not the only one complaining either!

    even with 10.5.2 itunes version ,my ipad is not getting update to ios 5 .its showing error while downloading.

    If you are getting a network timeout error then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Speed Download is a popular utility, though keep the uninstall directions handy if you find you have a version that doesn't work with your software update:
    http://www.yazsoft.com/sd/content/supportpages/uninstall.html
    There have been times the software has had to be updated after a systemwide software update.
    There is also a Downloads window in the Window menu of Safari, and in most other web browsers as well where you can control downloads you make off the internet.

  • I am using Flash Got to integrate my Download Accelerator Plus into FF7, now, in the Advanced options tab, I have C:\Users\SCARLET\Downloads, so my games can be d/l there, but they are not, they're going into another folder. HELP!

    Well, basically, I want my game downloads to go into that folder. When I used DAP with Flash Got the first time, it did. Now, it doesn't want to go there. It only goes into the "My DAP Dowloads" folder. I checked the Flash Got website, but when it explained about the Flash Got options, it didn't give any help about that?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • How do I convert a large file which show error after is converting?

    I've tried to export a PDF to Excel and  word file and have not been able, show error after downloading and show converting in progress
    File is les 100MB and 936 pages

    Hi Large Files to Convert,
    Even when a PDF file is under the 100-MB file size limit, it could be that the large number of pages is adding a level of complexity that causes the ExportPDF service to timeout before it can finish the conversion.
    If the PDF file wasn't created from a scanned document, you can simplify the conversion somewhat by disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community
    Otherwise, you might want to consider using a free trial of Acrobat to convert that large file. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • Where can I find a download accelerator?

    Okay. I am new to apple so if I ask a stupid questions don't laugh. Anyways I really need a download accelerator. I live in Alaska about 100 miles away from a good internet connection. When using my old microsoft comp. I added the program Download Accelerator Plus to help with my connection problem. This worked great. I have looked for something equivilent for my safari browser and I am not finding it. DAP has a mac version but I am also lost on how I can even install it. It sent me a text file and I have no clue what to do with it. Does anybody have any suggestions on a different download accelerator or help me with installing the DAP exstention? Current situation is without the download accelerator it takes at least an hour for most of my downloads. This is not a big problem except that if it is not downloaded soon enough connection is lost and I have to restart the download process.  PLEASE HELP!! I have no way to get any better interenet connection. Trust me I keep checking.

    The version at http://www.speedbit.com/mac/ is 9 years old & won't run on Mavericks. Is there some other that you're trying ?.
    There might be something of use at Comparison of download managers
    or
    Download Managers: Mac OS X
    In any case, be very wary, & make proper backups before trying any, so that you can reinstall if necessary.

  • Download accelerator woes

    I downloaded Download Accelerator Plus a while ago. Seeing as it was just a demo, I uninstalled it. Now when i'm using Camino (or any browser for that matter) if i try to download from certain sources such as mac software sites, mirrors or download.com, i get a message saying
    "DapPlugin is unable to find download accelerator plus application. please make sure to launch DAP to complete installation.
    i deleted some things related to DAP but that may have made it worse. This is driving me crazy. There doesnt seem to be a plugin manager or a setting that cancels use of download accelerators. How can i get rid of this message and start downloading again? Thanks
    Powerbook G4 15" 1.67 Ghz 512 Mb Superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I think the uninstaller was busted, as when i opened it it quickly closed and did nothing. i did however find dapPlugin in the library folder, and deleted it, solving my problem. Thanks!

  • 2.1PROD/EA2: Show Errors problems

    With 2.1EA2 (JDK 1.6.0_16), the "show errors" command still doesn't ever seem to report errors (long time problem for me - see 1.5PROD/EA3/EA2/EA1 - BUG: Show Errors for View says no errors when errors). As well as that, when trying to run a show errors statement, nothing appears in the statement output window (which it does open if it is not there already) and I get the following text to the logging page:
    The following was not written to the Script Runner Result Window as the outputStream was closed:No Errors.
    theFurryOne

    At least 2.1 production has improved the display of the "No errors" message - this always appears in the statement output window. However, this functionality is still not working properly (at least compared to the SQL Plus command that it is meant to be an equivalent of).
    In SQL Plus, the "show errors" (on it's own) displays the errors (if any) from the last PL/SQL object created in the current connection. However, additional parameters can also be used to display errors for any other objects. The first way appears to be the only way that SQL Developer treats any show errors command - even if using those additional parameters which should change which object the errors should be reported for.
    As an example, the following code:
    create or replace force view xxx_dummy_v
    as
    select d.fred
    from   dual d
    show errors view xxx_dummy_vIn SQL Plus, this reports the error in the xxx_dummy_v view (d.fred is an invalid identifer).
    In SQL Developer, this same code reports "No errors", unless I have created PL/SQL objects in the same connection and the last one had errors, in which case it reports the errors from that last created PL/SQL object.
    Is it possible to improve the functionality of the "show errors" in SQL Developer to match the same command in SQL Plus? If not, it would be better to have an error displayed in the statement output if you attempt to run show errors with any parameters, as they are ignored. Getting errors for package A when requesting errors for view B is just wrong.

  • When ever i try open firefox it show error it was woring fine before can u help me to soulv the prob

    when ever i try to open a firefox it show error i try to reove and re install firefox. still it show error can u help

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
