Download Stopped #126

Closed smaragdus closed 4 years ago

smaragdus commented 4 years ago

When I try to download from this site the download fails to start- it appears as 'Stopped' in 'Progress' column, screen:

HTTP Downloader 1 0 3 1 - 2020-03-01 - 001

Another download manager - Free Download Manager, also failed to download from this site showing 'Unknown network error', screen:

Free Download Manager 3 9 7 Build 1627 - 2020-03-01 - 001

However the download completed just fine when downloaded via browser.

I wonder what causes these downloads to be stopped and whether the problem is on my end.

Both links work fine for me. I'd say it's a network issue, but you said your browser is able to download it. Maybe it's a DNS issue?

Thanks for the test, As the downloads work for you I will close this issue. Obviously the problem is on my end. I do not know what is causing the problem as all other downloads work just fine.

I had another instance of 'Download Stopped' problem, it appeared both with version 1.0.3.1 and the latest version 1.0.4.1, screen:

HTTP Downloader 1 0 4 1 - 2021-05-11 - stopped - 001

The links that caused this problem:

Free Download Manager and uGet also failed to fetch the files, while Ant Download Manager managed to get these files, screen:

Ant Download Manager 2 2 4 Build 77918 - 2021-05-11 - 001

The browser was also able to download these files.

However when I changed the download links from HTTPS to HTTP:

https://www.northglide.com/SideSlide_v4.80_Setup.zip -> http://www.northglide.com/SideSlide_v4.80_Setup.zip https://www.northglide.com/SideSlide_v4.80_Portable.zip -> http://www.northglide.com/SideSlide_v4.80_Portable.zip

the downloads were completed successfully, screen:

HTTP Downloader 1 0 4 1 - 2021-05-11 - stopped - 002

I wonder whether this problem is reproducible or it occurs on my machine only.

Regards

The HTTPS links work perfectly fine for me. I'm on Windows 10 right now. It's hard to say what's going on. Ant Download Manager could be falling back to HTTP if HTTPS fails. I don't think Firefox or Chrome use the Windows TLS API. Are you able to download the HTTPS links with Internet Explorer?

Thanks for checking these links.

Internet Explorer failed to download these HTTPS links, screen:

Internet Explorer - 2021-05-13 - SideSlide - 002

Although All SSL and TLS versions are enabled, screen:

Internet Explorer - 2021-05-13 - SideSlide - 003

It seems that this problem is system related (on Windows 8). By the way I recently changed my ISP.

As you confirm that the problem is unrelated to HTTP Downloader no further investigation is needed,
