@2fastvipergts: Hmm.... how do you spam?

On-topic: Did either of you try to update IE with the Windows-Update? It's not the best browser imo, but it seems to be compatible with everything you find in the internet so it should be the first browser to try out. Otherwise, I'd recommend a download program if that's supported by the NFSG server(s?).

Sorry,Just Wanted To Know

Updating Internet Explorer doesn't help. It still gives me the same problems.

[Mike]

Are you using any sort of download accelerator?

Just came across this, maybe it will help?

Well I just about tried every file on this site and nothing different.

OK. Now I'm giving you all the details:

     1) I click on a download link from this site.
     2) It comes up with 'Do you want to save or open this file'.
     3) I click save and I save the file on my desktop.
     4) Now I see that it is downloading. Notice that when you start downloading, it shows you the bar which is the overall progress of the download. When I start downloading, the bar is all the way to the left (which where it's supposed to be). Two seconds later, the bar goes all the way to the right assuming that the download is completed. I have dial-up so it doesn't take 5 seconds to download 2 MB (more like 10 minutes if you ask me ). I see that the zip file is already on my desktop and it only downloaded 30 KB. Now I click on the zip and it gives me the same damn message over and over (file is invalid/corrupted....blah,blah...OH JUST SHUT UP!:P).

Are you using any sort of download accelerator?

I never did download anything that had to do with accelerating downloads. It wouldn't help anyway since I have dial-up (ugh! ).

Hopefully, all the info might help you a little bit.

Oh yeah....I also tried other sites such as NFSCars and their zips seem to be working.

Thanks for the info. I'm stumped. I'll forward that onto a server administrator friend of mine and see if he has any ideas. Might be some kind of weird server setting making your browser think the file is in your cache or something

I also have this problem I've tried downloading a few cars with the same results. I use Internet Explorer with no download accelerators or anything else and I am on dialup as well but mine is even crappier it runs more like 19 kbps *ugh*. I can only get as high as 200 kbs before the download closes on its own. Wierd huh?
