bizzare rom download problem

    Hi there, I'm a new member.

    I've been repeatedly trying to download some ROMs over the past hour and failing miserably. The download gets to about 98% then it bails out and starts again, now at first I figured this might be due to my download manager, so I tried downloading it using firefox's default downloader and the same thing happens!

    Anyone got any ideas as to why this is?

    I just tried downloading a file and it worked fine. Those this happen with every single file you try to download?

    Yeah, every file.

    It could possibly be my connection though, sorry for this post! I dunno, is there some rule written in the download that talks back to the server near completion? Could this be the reason?

    There's no such thing, once the download starts it should be fine. Have you tried a small file such as the latest GBA rom? Maybe it could be something with large files.

    I'm only downloading NDS Roms, I'll try a small GBA rom to see if it does the same.

    I would assume its your connection; post a traceroute in the traceroutes thread (Instructions in there)
