Title: Downloaded Files Missing Post by: Nomoreheroes on Friday, November 25, 2011, 08:37:15 Downloaded a couple of files to 'My Received Files'. Download says its complete, but when I go to 'My Received Files' they are not there. If I go to Firefox and type in the My Received Files location, it shows the files in it and lets me play the audio within them.
Checked on My Computer to show all hidden files, but still no joy. Help ! Title: Re: Downloaded Files Missing Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, November 25, 2011, 08:44:38 From the Firefox download manager, right click on the file and there's an option to open the download folder. You should be able to see where it's saved to then.

Title: Re: Downloaded Files Missing Post by: Nomoreheroes on Friday, November 25, 2011, 20:54:49 Firefox says that it is at:
file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/My Received Files/Downloaded File Name When I go to that file with Windows Explorer it shows a whole lot of files in 'My Received Files' but it doesn't show 'Downloaded File Name'. P.S. I checked at the back of the sofa already! Title: Re: Downloaded Files Missing Post by: leefer on Friday, November 25, 2011, 20:56:45 Downloaded a couple of files to 'My Received Files'.

That option is greyed outTitle: Re: Downloaded Files Missing Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, November 25, 2011, 23:30:56 Try disabling your antivirus. Are you using AVG version 8.0 by any chance?
Title: Re: Downloaded Files Missing Post by: Nomoreheroes on Saturday, November 26, 2011, 08:34:39 This is getting crazier. Now when I use Bit Tornado to download any file to any location, the file link is only visible in Firefox. e.g. I tried to save to desktop and find the file does not display on the Desktop, but I can see it in Fiurefox!
Help! Title: Re: Downloaded Files Missing Post by: Simon Pieman on Saturday, November 26, 2011, 09:25:22 It sounds like either your AntiVirus or FireFox is screwing with the pc.
Have you tried disabling your AV as suggested?

Title: Re: Downloaded Files Missing Post by: Nomoreheroes on Saturday, November 26, 2011, 10:25:18 Thanks Si. Will read through that with interest. That might be the problem. However, ?I have found a different fix. I've reinstalled Bittornado and have tried to download one of the files again. It hasn't found the original, but it has overwritten in My Received Files and I can see it in Windows Explorer.
Phew! |
