Can't download any files

[dwil00]

For some reason I can't download any files. I get this error Connecting fs4.tesnexus.com is taking to long to respond. It also shows this for fs3 and fs5 severs as well. The file can be less than 2mb or more than 2mb, doesn't matter. It happens on all of the Nexus sites, day or night. I used to be able to download files no problem. I think it's been in the last couple of weeks.

 

I'm running Firefox and Win 7 Home Premium. My son on his computer can download ok. Any idea's would be a great help, I'm missing out on some great files.

 

Thank's

 

Edit: Fixed. I reset my modem and my router, downloading just fine now on all sites.

I am having the same problem, also running FireFox 3.6.8 with Win 7 Home Premium, 64 bit. Checked all settings in FireFox, and nothing. I don't have a clue what is happening, there are times when I have no problem at all. This problem is also happening with the Cnet site. If anyone can help us, PLEASE do!! Thanks in advance. (just noticed your fix! I will try it!)

Yeah, it's almost always a wireless issue. Downloads will corrupt and images oftentime show strange oddities... resetting your router is the usual way to fix it. DNS error of sorts.

This is what I do for a living, the problems are sometimes caused by an invisible power spike which causes havoc with the modem/routers bios settings. Simply power cycle them, remove power for 10 seconds to allow residual voltage to drain internally...this resets the bios and will cure 95% of this type of user issue.

 

When I go out and show the customer how and it brings things back up....I hate to bill them a 100,00, but I have no choice. It is the first step in trouble shooting from our help desk. Some just don't want to trouble shoot and demand a dispatch, these get a bill if the problem is with their equipment and they are told this when they demand a dispatch. Some will refuse it and want it checked up to the box on the house. I go and check, tell them everything outside is fine and leave. But they always ask what they should do, my response.....Don'[t know haven't looked at what is going on in YOUR wiring/equipment as you did not want me to look at it. Have a nice day !
