A Helpful Tip to Downlaoders

To those who are aiming to download things. (and are using Internet Explorer)

here's a tip.

If your trying to download a file and it looks like

this:

that's means if you download the file it won't be a zipped folder or an Mp3

It would look like

this:

and if you are wondering "Whats that?" well then I'll tell you.

Its a link. To simply put it. Its a link to download the same file you were trying to download.

Its an Endless loop. Its like dividing by ZERO. Its not meant to be.

So heres a tip.

if your trying to download an MP3 make sure it looks like

this:

make sure it has that MP3 icon. And same goes for other files. Make sure it has a folder Icon or something that looks like what your trying to get. Also always make sure what your trying to get is legit. You dont want to be downloading viruses.

I'm not sure how it is for everyone else. But this is how it is for me when I try to download stuff. Usually this happens on Megaupload, reason why I used Mediafire if possible. Not saying Mediafire doesn't have this too. It's just more likely that the upload works on it. (for me)

isn't this more like a tip for Downloaders... lol

@first it looks like you don't have winrar/winzip installed.

but then I again I realized you're downloading with IE.

I never have problem downloading with Firefox.

Ah I see. (I changed the title?)

Well I was only trying to help. Maybe someone in the same situation as me.

I'm not able to get firefox due to the fact that I don't exactly own the laptop I use.

Yeah from the image you were showing in the first spoiler. You don't have WinRAR.
If you did it would look like this instead.

Here is link where you can get WinRAR for free. That should make it so that happens less, if not stop it altogether.

Thanks

Though I'm not allowed to download things to this laptop. So I try not to get things I can easily get rid of.

Though thanks for posting link. It's good for tips.

So Programs are need to download these "seemingly" blank content items.

It's not that difficult to uninstall.
All you do is (now these directions are with me assuming you use a Windows OS) go into control panel. Should be able to find in the "Start menu".

Once in there find your programs program. By this I mean the one that says "Programs and features" for Vista, or "Add/Remove programs" or something like that for Xp.

Then find the WinRAR program. Should be "WinRAR Archiver". Select it then click uninstall.

You will more than likly have to restart your computer, but that will do it. If you want I can do screen shots of the procees for you so you know exactly what to do.

What the main point to download WinRar?

It's a file archiver and data compression program. The file you download (part1) is a multi-volume(split) archive.

It's a way to work around a file hosts upload limit.

7zip work for me.
