Having trouble downloading songs

[chris1169]

It's been a few months since I've downloaded any songs. I just went on a few minutes ago and I can't get any songs to finish downloading. I tried 3 different songs and waited about 10 minutes on each, but the little red X never turned to a green check mark on any of them. I tried them all one at a time too. Any one else having problems?

Which red X and which songs are you trying to download?

There are many one click hosters where the files are located - possible issues if a download does not finish are maintenance at the hoster, firewall, a virus scannner,  addons/tools blocking traffic, general connection problems, ...

My song list on my computer in the download files will have a little red x next to the song until it completes the download. Then the red x turns into a green check mark. I tried downloading 2 metallica songs and 1 pearl jam song. All 3 songs has thousands of downloads, but none seemed to want to finish downloading for me.

Do you see the file in the download folder and it starts but does not finish and hangs?

 

Some browsers don't work with a one click hoster - for example Safari does not work well with Mega. If you're using an add blocker or Adobe Flash is blocked the download might not start when an advertisement is blocked.

 

Which browser are you using? Try to use another browser for the download or post a link which does not work for you.

I use firefox for my browser. I'll try again tomorrow when I get off work. I don't know whats going on. I've downloaded a ton of songs back in Nov, but now it doesn't seem to want to work.

Its still not working.. Why would this work a month ago and not now?

I don't know what the reason is, but here are steps from the Mozilla KB https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files

 

You may try downloading a custom using another browser (chrome, opera, vivaldi, ie, ...) to check if it's a general problem or only related to the Firefox browser.
