Download keep freezing

Well I have this problem and I don't have any idea is the fault in my internet connection or what...

I've been trying to download the new Maiden rose ova for couple days now from the direct links and also from MU, MF and SP, but it always froze at 816kt on all... every time. And I get an error saying the source could not be read, try again later or contact the server manager. :( I also tried to download one of the Patalliro epidodes from a direct link here but it froze after 1,9mt and I got the same massage.

I'd like to know what's up here -.-

It can be a connection problem or a browser problem (IE is horrible managing downloads). You can try to use a download accelerator or (I don't know what browser you use) use Firefox. If you use Firefox you can install a complement that helps you to manage downloads like Download Them All.

I just downloaded the Free download manager, but it seems it doesn't support MF -.- What would be a better downloader? And yes I use firefox.

And I don't believe the problem is with my connection because my internet and online games run just fine... only the downloads freeze

This doesn't mean anything. It can be your internet connection. You don't use much resources when browsing pages and online games don't use browser resources. Still can be a connection problem. If the connection is not stable, as example, downloads fails.
I never used Free download manager but they have a page - Free Download Manager - absolutely free download accelerator and manager - maybe you find better explanations there.
With the complements I use at firefox all I have to do is input the download address (http:// etc) and the program does the rest.

Hmm, I'm trying to download with FDM from MU atm but I keep getting Some "unknown server error"... and FDM doesn't even support MF -.- argh. What is the downloader that you use with firefox, I could try it..and does it support MF and MU?

I use download them all and flash got. They both work automatically. I put something to download (normal procedure, click the link and save as) and firefox does the rest. You need to configurate to properly works.

Ok, I'll see to those later ^^ I just managed to download Maiden Rose as a torrent with FDM. Sadly I cannot find Patalliro ep 13 as a individual torrent so I need to get all 13 ep xD

But anyways, thanks for your help :oops:

I'll curse MU and MF both to hell with this xD They never work properly.

Recently (yesterday and today) I can't download from MU either.. they keep freezing, or get some errors resulting in broken files :( *curses MU*

That's exactly what I have -.- I'm feel sorry for you but I'm also glad I'm not the only one...

Is the problem solved now?

I got this error message usually when I try to download to an external drive (USB drive usually) and somehow the connection to this drive is lost/unstable...

... would it be the case for you?

MU, I know they had recently some problems with security and the rest, but seems to be working fine now...

And as for the downloaders... is the problem solved?

"Filename" could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

That's the error you receive, correct?

This usually means that the download was interrupted. This could be the fault of your internet connection or protection software you may be running. (Such as an antivirus or firewall) Since these are larger files, it's entirely possible that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is capping your download allocation in some way, or is blocking certain activity. Depends on which country you reside in, how the laws are set up, etc.

Make sure you aren't losing your internet connection at any point during the file transfer. If you're using Firefox, make sure to update to the most recent version (older versions had issues downloading files due to the way certain config files were set up), and make sure your download manager (the one built into firefox) is actually turned on. Otherwise, I don't know what other advice to give.

I've seen this problem before, and sometimes it works to delete the broken files (and empty the recycle bin) and then clear your browser's cache before attempting to download the file again. If you don't, then the download may not work correctly no matter how many times you try to download it.

Add to that connection interrupted between your hardware (talking about external storage)... I had also an issue with a rooter reinitialising itself... kind of an issue :)
And same kind of Internet connection interrupted while having at the same time a connection via cable and the WiFi on (computer switching fro one to another)

... as fataltea specified it, look at all possibilities that could interrupt your download, but not only the Internet connection. Try to eliminate one after the other one... and you'll find the cause
(1) ISP related
(2) Internet connection fault
(3) Firewall/AV software in action
(4) Modem/Rooter deficient, rebooting, other (cable/DSL & WiFi at the same time)
(3) Hardware link/connection interrupted (External hard-drive losing the connection)
(4) whatever else...

... and come back tell us what you found
