Why does the download progress and speed in the window constantly freeze?

Like the question says.. almost every time I download something I don't know if the download is working because the progress will freeze at some point.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • Why does Firefox 6 struggle and stutter with the new 4Od?

    Why does Firefox 6 struggle with the new 4Od?
    OK, so here’s my question. I have been using Firefox for years; it’s a wonderful piece of software and an excellent browser. Recently I’ve been having problems with plugin-container.exe. The general advice has been to make sure that Flash Player is up to date (10.3.183.7) and that Firefox is up to date (6.0.1). I still have problems, particularly on YouTube and the new 4Od site, so much so that I used about:config to disable “dom.ipc.plugins.enabled”, I set the value to false. Plugin-container.exe was, prior to this, hogging all the CPU it could get its grubby little mits on, this no longer happens but whilst watching 4Od Firefox eats my entire CPU and the rendered video stream is filled with stutter, almost like frame dropping. It’s fun to watch Firefox struggle, but its no fun trying to watch a program. In desperation I downloaded and installed Chrome. Watching 4Od my CPU usage dropped from 98-100% down to 82%. I don’t particularly want to use Chrome but I do increasingly use my browser to watch streaming video content. Incidentally, if I use Firefox to watch the BBC Iplayer I only burn 35% CPU using Firefox. Oh, and I’m XPSP3, up to date.
    How do I solve this stuttering problem?
    Is this a codec issue with-in Flash Player?
    Does 4Od use some sort of unsupported codec?
    I can’t be the only one out on this limb and I know the problem solvers like a good challenge. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated.

    You can use Themes or Personas to change the display of Firefox browser.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/personas/
    You can Middle-click a link using Mouse or use '''CTRL + Left-click''' shortkeys to open a link in a New Tab. See these articles:
    * [[Mouse shortcuts]]
    * [[Keyboard shortcuts]]
    Check and tell if its working.
    Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated, so you need to Update them.

  • Why does Encore keep crashing and where are the media files?

    I am having big problems with Encore right now.  I have developed a rather complex DVD with something like 20 movies on it.  The video files associated with these movies are all in .wmv format; about 4gb total in size and are stored on an external drive as is the Encore file with which I am authoring this DVD.  This drive has a USB connection to my computer which I know is not the best but I have managed to author an earlier draft of this DVD no problem.
    The problem now is that Encore keeps crashing.   Also, in the process, a lot of disc space is eaten up on my "C" drive.  I don't know why this is and where to go to delete these files.  I have defragged my computer and my anti-virus scans are up to date.  I am running a windows XP Home Edition O/S with an Intel pentium 4 CPU, 2.79 ghz with 2.5 gb of RAM.  I went to edit>preferences>media>location in Encore and got that my media files are on my C drive in Adobe>library but, when I looked, they didn't seem to be there.  Super frustrating!   Also my computer is super-slow too.   I deleted all temp files and there is no spyware to speak of, according to my virus scan software (Panda).
    Does anyone have any ideas as to how to address this problem?  Many thanks!

    There are two places to check:
    1. In the Summary pane for your iPad make sure that this box is not checked;
    2. In the iTunes app you may wish to go to Preferences/Devices and check this box;

  • I got a message that I should download an upgrade to Firefox 3.6.16. So I hit the download button and it said "Downloading the update" and "Connecting to the udate server". And it gets stuck there. How can I get past it?

    I have an iMac OS 10.4. I downloaded Firefox a while ago and I had no real problems with it. Then I got this message that I should update Firefox to 3.6.16. So I hit the "Download" button and I get the "Software Update" which says "Downloading the update" with a progress bar and below it , it says "Connecting to the download server". But it gets stuck there. The progress bar has gone to the end of bar. How can I get hooked up to the Update server?

    That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Recording of temperature, power and speed at the time of confirmation

    Hi experts,
    My client requires to record the temperature,power and speed of the equipment while doing the phase wise confirmation. I'm planning to put inspection characteristics for the operations. I'm not going to use PI sheet.
    Is this inspection characteristics assignment to record the parameters is correct?
    Any other option to do this apart from PI sheet.
    Anybody help me.
    Naren

    Dear ,
    It will be better  to capature those  parametres as Inspection Characterstic  before confirmation posting .
    However , if you want to capture as activity through certail formula key and activity price , then you can identify them as Satndard Values as like Labour , Machine and Setup .
    Go-to : OP7B "Parameters Overview"
    Define your requirements Eg.  For Power u2013 say ZELECT like that 
    (Short Key work/Keyword u2013 Electricity, Dimension " Energy", Std. Value Unit u2013 KWH)
    Then Go-to : OP19 " Standard Value Key Formula : Overview "
    Select SAP1 u2013 Normal Production and Copy as (F6) and Create new Activity Type Say eg. ZELE
    Then Assign this new Parameter ZELECT and save (handle the transport request)
    For Formula Definition :
    Go-to : OP54 "Formula Definition"
    Select SAP002 u2013 Prod.: Machine Time and Copy as (F6) and Create ur new Formula Say Eg. ZELECT
    And replace SAP_02 with your Parameter u2013 ZELECT
    Then itu2019ll look some thing like "ZELECT * SAP_09 / SAP_08 / SAP_11"
    Assign The Standard Value Key " ZELE" to your Work Center-Basic Data Screen
    Now Go-to Costing Tab Page assign your formula to your Predefined Activity Type for Power.
    (Otherwise u2013 First Create Secondary Cost Element (T.Code KA06), Assign this Sec. Cost Element to your new Activity Type, then KP26 " Change Activity / Price Planning" 
    Assign Activity Type in Work Center Costing Tab & Assign Your Formula)
    You can assign max. 6 Standard Values to your WC, I.e If you want to capture Power & Fuel Consumption for an Operation you can have both parameters set as per above procedure
    Regards

    The LOAD command instruction is 0xE8 and not 0xE0/0xE1.
    Lc is one byte, so how can you exceed FF?
    Optionally the LOAD response can include a receipt (delegated management). If your card mandates a response length of 1 byte (Le=01) it means that no receipt is expected --> receipt length 00. JCOPs LOAD command has Le=0x00 set by default --> response length undefined. This is in accordance with Java Card API, which follows the ISO 7816-4 APDU structure.
    Let's look at the help of the JCOP tools upload command:usage: upload [-p|--progress][-c|--components][-r|--random][-l|--package package-name][-s|--sd SD-AID][-m|--params parameters][-b|--block_length length][-a|--auto][-d|--load-debug] CAP-file
    -c|--components
                Load CAP-file component wise.
    -r|--random
                Load with random APDU length.
    -b|--block_length length
                Max. block (APDU) length sent to the card during package upload.
        length  Max. block (APDU) length.So you can set the block length --> Lc as you wish.

  • Downloads just disappear from the specified location such as "Desktop" or "My Documents".They are untraceable afterwards.Why does this happen?And because of this I have uninstalled Firefox and now use Chrome.

    I have been using Firefox for almost a year now,and had upgraded to Version 7 recently.
    My problem started with the downloads.
    1) When a download is to be commenced,a box appears with two options,namely "SAVE" and "CANCEL".
    Even when I click on "SAVE",the the box shows it as 'cancelled'.When I right click on the box,another dialogue box appears with a number of choices ,the top one reads 'RETRY'.
    When I click this option the download starts and it is shown in the chosen location until 99% is completed,bu the moment the download is complete,the item i.e. the downloaded item just disappears from the chosen location and is not traceable thereafter.This has happened to me repeatedly over the past week or so and I am so disgusted that I have been compelled to uninstall Firefox,and have started using Chrome.
    Please help,as I would like to get back to using Firefox again but without the above problems.

    Understood.  However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question.  It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point.  Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
    http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
    The point is that it's not  secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode.  It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office).  Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
    (1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
    (2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
    (3) Off.

  • Why is it that whenever I download a song from Itunes that a small grey round button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress button), but when I press on it to resume, the song disappears. This wasn't happening before.

    Why is it that whenever I download a song from itunes that a small grey button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress) but whenever I hit it to resume, the song disappears. I am getting annoyed with having to copy the songs manually onto my phone. Thanks for anyones help. Cheers

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Why does Realplayer pop up and says I need to download it to burn my movie?

    Why does Realplayer pop up and says I need to download it to burn my movie?

    Frank M Siino
    What do you do when you get this pop up? Click cancel and then proceed to burn to disc successfully with Premiere Elements and its burn software and your burner?
    Lots of questions and details needed to help.
    1. What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running?
    2. What are the properties of your source media and what have you or the program set as the project preset?
    3. What are you doing with the burn to feature...burn to DVD, burn to AVCHD on DVD, or burn to Blu-ray?
    4. What do you click on to get the Realplayer pop up...Publish+Share or Disc or DVD or AVCHD or Blu-ray?
    5. When all this is happening what does the burn dialog show for burner location? Does it show the burner into which you placed your disc?
    Those are some of the types of questions that need answers in order to put together some troubleshooting strategy to help you.
    Be sure to look into how you have your computer set up for Default Programs and AutoPlays as a background for all the rest.
    Looking forward to the details from you to help you with your question.
    Thanks.

  • Why does Adobe Download Assistant persistently reject my ID and password which have been in Adobe us

    Why does Adobe Download Assistant persistently reject my ID and password which have been in Adobe use for years?

    Yes, I'm able to login with my Adobe ID and password, and have done so for at least 15 years.  But the moment I use Adobe Download Assistant they're both rejected with "Error 100" without explanation.  I have tried to reset both on about 6 occasions over two days.  The rejection continues; no explanation.  In other words, I am refused a trial download of CS6 (pending later purchase).  I have had Photoshop since v3.0 and still have every version since then.  Frankly, Adobe has become a vast overfed amoebe with independently activated tentacles that are out of central control and disconnected from other parts of the empire.  This event has been happening to many other Photoshop loyalists, according to Google data, and it's becoming  more and more likely that I may abandon Photoshop altogether .  Meanwhile I'm continuing to use my CS5 and giving up any further attempts to acquire CS6.
