What does "Error 404" mean?
The link you followed is dead. The file is probably removed
or deleted. It's not possible to download the file anymore.
|
What does "Error 403 - Permission
Denied" mean?
The server removed the file and you don't have permission
to download the file anymore. |
Why do I get to see strange signs,
like #@$%^* when I try to download something ?
Some older versions of Netscape try to open the file from
its location. You will have to hold SHIFT and leftclick to
download correctly or rightclick and choose "Save file/target
as...". |
I can't connect to the server.
The server is probably down. Just wait till the server is
up again. Sometimes this takes hours, but in most cases the
problem will be resolved quickly. |
When I click on a link I receive
the message "server busy".
The server has too much people on it and is too busy. Just
wait a few minutes and try again. If you keep getting the
"server is busy" message come back at another time. |
I have downloaded a song, but
it doesn't play.
What you should do is drag and drop the file into your player
(Winamp). When the file doesn't play it is zipped. Rename
the file to .zip or drag and drop the file into Winzip. Just
unzip the file and you're done. |
I have tried to unzip a file,
but get the message "invalid zip file".
The file you have downloaded probably isn't zipped, but just
renamed to .zip. Look what the indicated format is and rename
the file. Now the song should play. |
What should I do with .class/.viv/.pdf,
etc files?
You only have to rename the extension to .mp3. When the file
has been renamed to .mp3 and doesn't play, rename it to .zip
and try to unzip it. |
I don't know how to rename a file.
Renaming is very easy. First you will have to make sure that
you can view the extensions (for instance .exe, .mp3, .sit)
of the files in your computer. Go to "My Computer". In the
menu click on "View" and choose "Folder Options" in the pulldown
menu. In the next screen click on the tab "View". Look under
"Advanced Settings/Files and Folders/Hidden files". Disable
the function "Hide file extensions for known file types".
Click OK. You are now back in "My Computer". Just right-click
on any file you want to rename and choose "Rename". |
