Cant download anything

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
Dialup is before my time  :smiley: so I'll leave that to Shane or others.

It would be difficult to take a desktop to a friend's which is why I asked if you are using a desktop or a laptop.

Do you have any other devices that use the Internet ?

Can you give us the info I'd asked for in my previous post and how long does it stay up before going down ?

This could still be an ISP problem, so have you reported the fault to your ISP ?

Oscar:
Hi guys thanks

It is a XP Laptop

It goes for about 2-3 minutes then stops

I can get on the internet ok, just downloading updates like AIO repair
Also youtube doesn't play either

Thanks again

Boggin:
Thanks for that info.

Do you have a friend or relative where you could try your laptop on their Internet ?

Another source could be either a local library or Internet café.

Shane:
Dialup? WOW, now that is a word I havent heard in years lol

Well I use to work in a tech support dept years and years ago fro a dial up company. And dial up can easily be a weak connection. I normally always recommend some sort of download manager that supports download resuming, that way if your connection drops or something then it can continue where it left off.

This is a major need for everyone, yet NONE of the browsers support proper download resuming. I have no clue why they wont add that feature.
