Can't connect to Download.com

Oct 28, 2006 10:10PM PDT

I can connect to Cnet and all the tabs work except the Download tab. Starts to connect then just hangs.
Did connect one time and it looked like a new page not the Download.com page i was used to seeing.
Also can't connect to Download.com directly by typing in the address bar. this seems to be the only site i'm having trouble with

any suggestions?

Can't connect to download ....
Nov 12, 2006 3:01AM PST

I'm having the same problem as Risher5, except I can never download anything even once ... can get seemingly everything from the site, including the brief music clip, but when I hit download, nothing happens. Does anyone know if I need to have some kind of special software installed in order to download the full music piece? I'm older than dirt and am relatively computer illiterate ... it's a Dell laptop w/Windows XP. Could use anyone's help! Thanx!
