yup, borg:
Tried it again and doesnt work. Same problem.
Cant be from my ISP 'cos im in Portugal, and the other guys complaining are from different countries.
Could you please do what i've asked you in my PM? |
Wrong.
Almost all ISP's use a proxy server for caching www requests.... if not them, then almost certainly upstream as well.
What is the filesize of your file?

I have never had any problems with this..
But all these problems started when Bruce changed the way files were sent to the users I think

- All the files on the mirrors are fine for dowloading (iev
downloaded from a server in Perth, one in Auckland and from my ADSL
connection and all are OK.
- For some people to be getting EOF errors etc, then the file you have is an incomplete download
- For #2 to have occured IS due to the previous file download being cached. This can occur i your machine AND at your ISP.
- The only way around this is force an expiration of the cache
entry (eg SHiIFT RELOAD when clicking on a link etc ... actions differe
depending on browser) .... or use a different ISP. You can also
bypass this by chnaging the file name (eg only Borg can do this)

I downloaded zip file 4 times, 4 different location on disk, and used winRAR 3.30, 3.40 beta 1, 7-zip and still getting errors. No proxy. 2 files downloaded with Opera, 2 with K-meleon. Never had this problem.

HOw do you know there is no proxy?
Most ISP's do this with transparent proxies ... ie nothing is set in
the users browser ... it happens at the ISP end based on port requests

Yes ... using a querystring such as http://fly2.me.uk/?DL=web_wiz_forums_SQL_Server_v7.9.zip& ;KTA=3%2E78408391427615E%2B17
to download files can result in different caching behaviour as opposed to jjust having the filename

Yes you are right, I don't know. I was reffering to my local proxy, I turned it off.
But, I have 3 different ISP's. Just download through 3 differrent ISP's and still getting errors.
