Can't download nothing...(says slow down)

[Jugador]

Hey guys...sorry if this is an old issue, but haven't been here in awhile. Whenever I try to download any file, I get this message (see pic). It always says "Slow Down", but I haven't even downloaded anything, yet. Thanks

Hiya :welcome:

Not sure if it's a known issue. The generic solution would be to try logging out, clearing cookies, and logging back in.

 

[Jugador]

Yeah, logging out did it. :woot:

Thanks for the tip...the sites looking good. Now excuse me while I look around...

Well, dang it...it's doing it again. I logged out 2 days ago, logged in this morning and tried to download a small 500kb file, and I got the "slow down" flag again. Anybody got any suggestions on what the problem is? Thanks

Make sure you are not using a download manager (that's very 1990s) as simultaneous connections are not allowed. Thats the only thing causing it apart from double clicking the download button.

Okay, thanks for the tip. I use Mozilla Firefox browser, but I don't know if the downloader is the problem or not. This is the
only site that I have this problem, tho. Thanks

set firefox look for new page every visit and see if that resolves the issue. Also you can delete your history on exit of firefox through the settings. Alternately you could set firefox to not remember history at all, but if your like most folks, that is how they find the pages they have visited in the past

Took me awhile to figure out what you were talking about, but changed it from "3" to "1", and still no joy. Thanks for the tip, tho.

If anybody else wants to try it and don't know how, here's a link...Firefox Caching
