I've tried everything but I can't download the lists - after clicking "add update list", browser is launched but clicking on the file link (windows-xp-x86-enu.ulz) just reloads the page. I tried dowloading via "save target as" but all I get is a file called download.ashx.
Help, someone... no.gif

What browser are you using?

I'm using Firefox, but I switched to IE and made it default so when I click - "Add update list", it launches IE. But nothing happened, same as with Firefox... sad.gif
Could you perhaps upload the list here or post a direct link to download?
Thanks smile.gif

It's important that we get to the bottom of the core issue. If you're having this problem, then certainly, others are too. If you have a MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger address, PM me with it so that we can identify the issue together.

Thanks.

Probably that's firewall of yours.Turn it off & try again. I'm using NIS2004 from Symantec & got the same problem.Downloading from some sites does not starts up while my firewall is "on".It blocks only starting so I just turn it off, start my download & turn firewall on.
My web browser is IE6 sp 1 but I download everything whith download manager. If I need to resume paused download - there's no need to switch off my firewall again.
That's not DM-firewall conflict , simple downloading with IE shows same problem.

Thanks, Red Knight! biggrin.gif
That was it! I use ZoneAlarm v6.5.731. I would never have guessed, thought it was a corrupt NET framework installation or sth.
Thanks so much! biggrin.gif

Thanks, noted. Glad it got resolved.
