Thanks I'd not heard of portable versions of those ... can they be installed on a PC?

But to be clear - it wasn't my browser - it was a setting I had on Nexus.

They can ONLY be used on a PC. They're designed to be self-contained and run from a USB drive (or other location) and NOT installed (into the "\Program Files", Registry, etc.) on the host computer. They won't appear in the list of programs on the Start Menu, and don't make any other changes to the host (beyond being in a folder there, if that's where you put them.) Hence "portable".

And in the way LHammonds meant it, it was your browser. It was "the settings you had applied to your browser, and not the way the Nexus sites are configured." Which is why testing with the portable version using vanilla settings is useful. It can seperate client-side issues from server-side ones.

Huh? Because when I go to Nexus Edit your site preferences page and change the File download method to Default (on page pop up) then it worked.

But changing it to either way doesn't effect any other web page - just nexus. So it is not something I had set in firefox options.

@SoloPlayer, Sorry, I thought you had said you resolved the problem by changing a FF setting, not a Nexus one!
My mistake...

This makes me think that LHammonds didn't understand either.

Like perhaps there is something wrong with the downloads, but only with one download option set.

I admit, since the problem for me is resolved I'm not that invested, and I did post the fix on the NMC comments. If, however, that is a problem that might be something to test with the mods listed in this thread. having the downloads on a new page instead of in the pop up.

Maybe it is only an issue if you have it set to download on a new page and like I have FF set up to have a new page open on a new tab. Hmm but no because IE isn't set up that way.

Anyway that feature may have issues.

Ah, I get what you are saying now. I just verified that the same problem will happen for me as well if I go into member preferences and change "File download method" from "Default on-page pop-up box" to "separate page" and then try to download any file on the NMCs_Texture_Pack_For_New_Vegas.

Thanks for making me understand the root of the problem. This definitely seems to be a coding issue. The problem page seems to be downloads/downloadpart.php
