Help with downloading Psx Files

#1
I have tried downloading a psx self executable file and when I clicked on the download link it gave me the message one would receive if you were not registered, and I can't see how to fix this problem, and if anyone has any advice or suggestions, please tell me them so I can fix this problemEDIT: Just noticed that by attempting to download it I lost 75 Points, no, wait, 100 points (from trying to download it more than once) and now this is really a problem

do you have Norton Internet Security by any chance?

No, I have Avast antivirus, but would that be the problem?

if you have a firewall that blocks referrer information, that would cause the problem. NIS is the major culprit, but not the only one.

ACK! Nope, not the problem... Would it be the download manager I am using? or Windows Firewall? And i lost 50 more points... :'(

could be the download manager, try withoutunlikely to be windows firewall, since thats about as strong as wet paper in a hurricane, but turn it off anyway. Get Sygate Personal Firewall (free) instead :)

Still can't get it to work, if it helps, the game was harvest moon: back to natureEDIT: Wait, would it be because I'm using firefox?

Replying to #7

No. Both Seph and I use firefox all the time. That game works fine for me, so I would advise you to wait for Seph to get back from school.

You get the message?
A recent increase in visitor numbers have forced us to require registration so we can track if some people use more than their fair share of downloads. Registration is 100% free and we do NOT send spam.
This is a temporary solution until we can get some more RAM.
Because that makes no sense since you're losing points, especially not if loony can download.Try loggin out and then log in again.

Ok, I'll try that nowEdit: Yeah i got that message Seph so i disabled my dl manager and when I clicked the link again a window popped up for a millisecond and closed and then nothing else happened.

I guess it was firefox, I tried downloading it with IE and it worked fine, not sure why it didn't work in firefox, but I got it now, so thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.
