Download broken on some browsers
-
For past several months I haven't been able to download any projects on the browsers I mostly use (IE8, Chrome). I can browser the source and copy paste the code manually file by file but that's getting a bit old after a while as I was hoping this problem was temporary and would go away. eg. After logging in, instead of my nick or email, the page shows a number next to the "sign out". I'm not sure if that's normal. If I try to login to the site, sometimes it goes to a 302 refresh loop, doing thousands of requests a minute. If I try to download, it goes to download page from the project page but nothing happens. I tested this on various browsers incl latest chrome. eg. I tried to download this after logging in, both directly and from the project page. www.codeproject.com/Articles/11666/Dynamic-Holiday-Date-Calculator www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/HolidayCalculator/HolidayCalculator_src.zip IE8: download.aspx -> requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. (Trying on IE10 preview I get Evil Hamsters screen) Latest Chrome : nothing happens. I finally tried Firefox and on it the download worked.

Do you have any add-ins? Are you using a download manager?

I'm using IE8 also for most time and found that on *SOME* projects, the download page has this: " If the download doesn't start please *click here*." That link works in IE8 - but it doesn't show up in most of the projects! eg. Here you do get that link: Arithmetic in Generic Classes in C#http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/GenericArithmeticUtil/2009\_2\_GenericArithmetic.zip\[[^](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/GenericArithmeticUtil/2009_2_GenericArithmetic.zip "New Window")] And here you don't: Dynamic Holiday Date Calculator[^] http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/HolidayCalculator/HolidayCalculator_src.zip[^]

Chris This problem is still active and more people are creating new discussion threads about it and reporting the download issue.

No addons or manager. Just found another article where Download does not work with IE8 but works in Firefox. Managed I/O Completion Ports (IOCP)[^]
