Expose	Date: April 12, 2003 @ 4:38 PM Use a browser other than AOL's, and if you have a firewall, you have to change it so it doesn't hide info from web sites.
Veracohr	Date: April 15, 2003 @ 5:53 AM Welcome to the club, nottporn. We get together on a regular basis and pray to the downloading gods, then drink ourselves silly because we can't download.
RasMasta	Date: April 17, 2003 @ 7:50 PM Instead of right clicking and saving target as....you need to left click and let it download to a temporary folder and then search for the file on your comp.
jmweirick	Date: April 17, 2003 @ 8:02 PM that never worked for me ras, check all the browser and firewall for browser forwarding and browser privacy or steath browsing or something like that, make sure browser forwarding is enabled and the rest are turned off. i use norton internet security and discoverd how to fix the problem if it is caused by it, in case anybody else uses it.
teknokimono	Date: April 24, 2003 @ 9:28 PM files.dmusic.com server. It would be just as easy to make the actual link point to this. It does allow them to change servers I suppose, but that can be done transparently via DNS. If it's to prevent grabbing or "leeching" of their bandwidth, it won't stop it. If you use wget, you can get the song's url and simply run wget to grab the song. In fact, I was forced to circumvent the site's "download procedures" in order to download a song, something I shouldn't have to do. My honest opinion is that this could easily be changed by the site owners. If there is a valid reason for functioning the way it does, it's not very clear and it's not working." id="42996">Why did the admins of this site make downloading such a pain? I seriously don't understand it. The download link points to a temporary URL, which is then redirected to the actual URL located on the files.dmusic.com server.

boycott	Date: April 24, 2003 @ 11:46 PM teknokimono: The admins did not make it hard. The previous owners did. We inherited a system that is a lot harder to than you make it sound like. We are in the process of redesigning the entire backend and the way things operate. We have a lot of AOL users who have the same problem. We're aware of it and are working toward that goal of fixing the way things are done. As for your problem teknokimono you should be able to left click on the link and download. If you have a player that streams as it downloads then you have an issue of possibly not being able to save it, unless your software settings allow you too. Most people who aren't using AOL who have this problem are using Quicktime free version. Uncheck the MP3 and it will allow you to save the file or get the Pro version which allows saving.
thumbtack	Date: April 24, 2003 @ 11:58 PM PS boycott is also thumbtack the admin, not to be confused with Conan the Destroyer..
sinai	Date: April 24, 2003 @ 11:59 PM where do u go to uncheck tha MP3 thing for quicktime boycott? call me an idiot if u wish, i laugh with u if it getz me able to download...
thumbtack	Date: April 25, 2003 @ 12:34 AM Choose MP3 and make sure that MP3 Audio file is unchecked. If you want to leave your Streaming for MP3s as quicktime then leave MP3 Playlist checked. This is for version 6... Quicktime is almost as bad a real audio in grabbing media types, not quite but close. Everytime I upgrae I have to go back to my player of choice and grab my file types back. Let me know how it goes..." id="43037">Ok: Open Your Quicktime Player. Click on Edit then Preferences, then Quicktime Settings From the dropdown menu choose "Browser Plugin" Then click on MIME Settings Button at the bottom. Choose MP3 and make sure that MP3 Audio file is unchecked. If you want to leave your Streaming for MP3s as quicktime then leave MP3 Playlist checked. This is for version 6...

Any ideas about workarounds or what else to try? " id="43523">I do use Norton's firewall (liked Atguard interface better), but turning it off doesn't make a difference on d/l leech messages.

thumbtack	Date: April 28, 2003 @ 2:44 AM The only other thing I can come up with is that your privacy setting aren't set to allow the info that you are on the site to be sent back to the server. I can download in IE 6 even with the cookies set at block all cookies, same thing in Netscape 7.2 and Mozilla.
RockItProduc...	Date: May 20, 2003 @ 2:57 PM Yea, I can't download anything either and I'm not about to change my settings just to download this one song. You guys seriously need to fix it so that everyone can right click on "download" and save the mp3 instead of the html.
milladrive	Date: May 20, 2003 @ 3:02 PM Why don'tcha try left-clicking the download link.
