Hi Don,
Thanks for testing that out. I'm not sure what the reason is...
I've sent a note to my web hosting company, maybe they'll be able
to shed some light on it.

Thanks,
Mark

Fund Manager for Windows 3.1x/95/98/NT

: I cannot download fundmn46.zip with Netscape from
: www.fundmanagersoftware.com/programs/fundmn46.zip. Same symptoms, it appears to
: self delete immediately after the download reaches the 100% point.
: Immediately after this failed download I used Netscape to successfully
: download the same file from
: http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/finance/fundmn46.zip.

: I don't know of any special downloading plugins. There are a bunch
: of plugins for multimedia such as Quicktime, Realmedia, Windows Media
: Player, Shockwave, etc.

: Mystery, huh?

: : Hi Don,

: : I've tested the download with both IE and Netscape with success.
: : I wonder if the problem is related to Netscape downloading an exe file?
: : Do you have any special downloading plug-ins installed that you know of?
: : If you're interested to try it out, you can try downloading a zip file
: : from our site using Netscape. It would be interesting to know if you
: : can download this file:

: : http://www.fundmanagersoftware.com/programs/fundmn46.zip

: : using your Netscape?

: : Thanks,

: : : Well, after letting my computer rest overnight, it still won't download from
: : : your primary site with Netscape Communicator 4.7 (same symptoms as yesterday).
: : : However, the download worked fine with Internet Explorer 5 at your primary site.

: : : Just as an experiment I then used Netscape to download
: : : the zip file from the alternate site you suggested; works fine. Then tried
: : : again the exe file from your primary site; still self-deletes after download.
: : : So it still indicates to me that there is some sort of incompatibility between
: : : your server and the Netscape browser, but got what I needed with both workaround
: : : methods you suggested.

: : : : : Mark, I'm unable to download 4.6. When I click on the download link I get the
: : : : : usual Netscape dialog box asking where to put the file. Then I get the
: : : : : progress bar as the file comes in. While it is coming in Windows Explorer
: : : : : shows the file name with zero file size as is normal for a download in progress.
: : : : : When it completes the file disappears with no action on my part, kind of like
: : : : : it self-deletes. Windows "find" command can't find it anywhere. I tried this
: : : : : several times with fundmn4.6.exe and once with fundmn03.exe, always with
: : : : : the same result. I then went to a shareware download site and did a successful
: : : : : download just to check my setup. Is it possible that there is some problem
: : : : : with your server?

: : : : Hi Don,

: : : : I'm not sure what would cause that problem... I just tested the download
: : : : and it worked normally. You can also download 4.6 from:

: : : : http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/finance/fundmn46.zip

: : : : You might also experiment using another browser. If you are still unable
: : : : to download the program please send us an e-mail and we can e-mail it to
: : : : you.

: : : : Thanks,
: : : : Mark
