Why Can't I Download Anything?

[Steve Jobless]

Ever since I downloaded the Seinfeld Episode The Contest, I can't seem to download anything at all. I tried powering down my computer, modem etc. But I still can't download anything. This is very frustrating. Any Ideas why? I use verizon DSL if it matters.

Thanks

Are you able to access the internet? (might be a stupid question since you posted here)

Maybe reinstallng Safari, or whatever browser you use, will help. I haven't ran across a problem like this before, so I'm just shooting in the dark.

Well, for starters, I believe that is Illegal. Moving along... what did you use to download this?

I think we need to know what program you were using- iTunes? Limewire, Bittorent (both illegal so can't be discussed here), some other online service? Without that we can't be of much help

i didnt use anything other than a backup server (rapidshare) and firefox. No software legal or illegal was involved.

also i tried using other browsers that didnt work

Respectfully the use of Bittorrent at least, and I would assume Limewire too - in itself isn't illegal so long as it's not being used to transfer copyrighted material. However if that's not what you meant lol

although i do have limewire pro on all my computers, thats a different story

Huh?

Are guns illegal? Are knives? No? Okay, neither is Limewire or BitTorrent. Now, HOW you use them might be...

Users>your user>Library>Preferences and look for the com.something.firefox.plist (starts with com, ends with plist and has the name of whatever program you used in there) and move that file to the desktop. Quit and reopen the affected program. If it works, toss the plist into the trash.

This guy should just get iTunes.
