Also how well does the IE popup blocker work..?

[bear] Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Just wondering for those that installed it, did you have to reconfigure your settings for sharing a printer?Also how well does the IE popup blocker work..? the popup blocker works pretty well. shows a small notification when a popup is blocked and lets you configure your options for which sites are safe and which ones aren't for popups.

Why does it download perfect for you over 56K (in one go i mgiht add) it wont download for me, and I'm on 512k ADSL?? Perhaps I should take these 7 attempts as a bad omen and just give up. This is a joke, seriously, how the heck does it stop at say 92%, it wont resume, yet I am fully able to start a completely new download (which will also stop at between 50% - 92%).

Jelly2003 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 ,Mar 22 2004, 10:06] yeah i downloaded it twice for my other computer just to test it out Using: Flashget why would you download with IE you know thats not resumable... lol I've tried it 3 times on GetRight, twice using Firebird, and twice using FlashGet... thats why! So... IE was my last hope in getting this download to work. Actually I'm on the phone to my ISP now, they're having similar problems downloading it, so it might be a problem with my ISP. The download started at 2MB per sec, and is slowly dropping down below 300kb/sec on their connection. They're gonna ring me back shortly to tell me how the download went.
