I'm getting that error and then the download stops from what I can figure. I never have any problems downloading podcasts now. I used to though until I got the router I mentioned earlier in this thread. I used to plug the modem into the USB port on a laptop and have the laptop share that connection through it's ethernet port with the wan port on a linksys wrt54g router. I couldn't download podcasts, software updates or anything reliably with that setup. Now everything else that I've tried works great. Remember, on a computer I can download the same files without a single problem. I've never ever had a download stop mid-way through when using this connection unless I pressed escape in the wrong place by accident, at least not that I can remember. Since I changed configurations on my network, my braille plus has never dropped a download from any other source mid-way through except the time or two I was using the internet in the car and completely lost signal. I have a big antenna on the top of my house. the signal strength on my air card modem is usually -69dbm, full signal. It didn't take any longer than usual to reach 44 percent than I expected. My internet has real download speeds, that is if you check the speed of a download on a computer that actually shows you the transfer rate, anywhere from 50 to 240kb/s. It's usually around 120kb/s though. I of course don't know exactly how fast things happen on the braille plus since it never shows you such valuable information. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Poehlman To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 7:12 AM Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: e: Re: downloading from bard using the bp browser just to cover a point. if you are having download issues as in the download stops, have you tried downloading large files from other sources. I used to see this type of problem when I had connection issues and if you have this problem with downloading large files from other sites, it might well be a connection issue.

This does not happen all the time and I can't figure out when or why this occurs.

Does it occur when you are browsing for titles, or when you try to press OK on a particular title to download? We need more information, please. Also, maybe you need to reboot, and/or also try the same title on the PC. > Mostly I noticed it when trying to download a title. It would get to a certain percentage which didn't happen to be the same each time. The download would stop when the error appeared. It wouldn't say the download had been canceled or anything like that. The only error was the one I mentioned at the beginning of this thread. However after getting that error the numbers on the download manager would stop changing when I press select. > I'm not positive, but I think I've had it happen when just on a single page looking for suitable titles to download from my search results. No traffic at all going on, just going down through the page. > I've had it happen across too many different reboots and situations to believe a reboot would fix it. > What I'll do is locate a book with it and try to download the book again and see if anything happens and give specific details. It has been a while since I tried to download books on the bp itself and I didn't think of asking here about it until now. As for trying to download the same book on the pc, I did just that after failing to download on the bp I just got the book on the pc and put it on the bp over the sharing folder. > So I realize I'll have to get more specifics, or try to at least. I'll do so. > btw, can everyone else download multiple books at once with the bp? I usually try to download more than one at a time. This time I'll just log in, find one book and try to download it. > Cheers > Pamela > From: icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icon-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Valiant8086 > Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 11:55 PM > To: icon-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [icon-discuss] downloading from bard using the bp browser > has anyone tried this? > When i try to download from bard using the browser on the bp I get an error that sounds like this > Alert title message minnymo received a message titled session timed out > or something like that. can this be fixed? > ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- > avast!
