For the past year or so, I've enjoyed downloading digital papers, images, etc. (some freebies, some purchases). I replaced my computer last summer, but nothing else has changed -- same email address, same programs, etc.
Just in the last couple of weeks, I tried to download some lovely digi papers. I get to the point where a dialogue box asks "do you want to open or save this file?" and I click "save" like always. Then the weirdness starts. A window opens and closes over and over really quickly, like a strobing effect. I can't manipulate the window, can't open/close the file, etc. It keeps going and won't stop even if I go into my task manager pane and try to "end task." The only fix is to close down and reboot.
In both instances where this happened, the digi items were freebies being shared through the 4shared site. But I've downloaded similar stuff (from the same designers! same sites!) before. Anyone ever had this happen to them
? I'm especially sad because these are designers whose work I've really enjoyed, and been able to access until only recently! And their blogs indicate that many others are successfully downloading the files.
