icemaiden Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) I've been downloading files from nexus for a long time, but now I can't download anything. Had a hard drive go out on me, got a newer, better, larger one, but in replacing my game mods, when I go to the file, click on the file button, it doesn't work anymore. The only place it will go is to the description of the file, not the file part where you download them manually. If I had the new nexus download manager, would that work. Can't you download manually anymore? I had a lot of files from DA and DA2, Fallout 3 and FO-Vegas, Oblivion, ect, and now can't download any of them anymore. Any help would be appreciated. I know that I should put this into the tech support forum, but even getting this one to open up took forever, as did writing the post. Lots of lag, must be lots of people on.

RitualBlack Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 You can still manually download files. I don't have any problems but non-premium members have to view an add before downloading, and because of the skyrim traffic it may be a bit slow. If you click the file name a window will pop up and you will view a ad than select a server to download from. Also, which browser are you using?

Also, which browser are you using?Yes, that's the way I've always done it before, but now it won't let me go to the file name portion of the file to download it at all, just stays on the description and that's the only one that will show. I don't mind the ads, and only wanted to get the mods I had before for the games before trying the new nexus mod manager. I'm using IE, as I always have before and never had a problem. There's the description button, the file button, the photo button, the comments button, ect, but the only one that works for me now is the description button, none of the others will click on when I try.

buddah Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 If you are using IE, which version. If you are using IE9, it won't work in compatibility mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemaiden Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 I still use IE 7 as I still have xp Pro, just with updated graphics and HD. It's the same as I've had for a couple of years and never had this problem before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ie 7 is not compatible with the site, I suggest upgrading or trying firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemaiden Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Has the site been updated? I've had IE7 for a couple of years now, and it worked before to download any of the files I used. BTW, thank you all for the answers, and trying to help, I really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
