I'm surprised you've not heard of UKNova. It has a certain respectability
within media circles.
It bans you from the site if you try to upload something to it that has been
released on DVD. It also bans you from the site if you upload something that
hasn't yet been shown on British television.
It is self regulating and, I strongly suspect I know some of the people who
run it.
So, as Sunil Says, for visually impaired people it's like an accessible Sky
Plus really.
...Damon
Its like a substitute for SkyPlus. You can download stuff a day or two after
its been on telly and a lot quicker than a lot of the other bittorrent
sites. Maybe it's the servers, maybe not. It rules anyway so ner ner ner ner
ner.

Err, yeah, I wouldn't be trying to access websites if there was no point to
them now would I.
It's actually one of the very best websites I know! It's fantastic. As Sunil
says, membership is restricted and they only open the gates every few months
until they re-fill their quota and then they shut down again.

It is a torrent site but membership is restricted.

Hi Damon,
What is this UK Nova? It looks as though it is a host for Bit Torrent, but when you try to sign up, it says sorry, this site is not for public use. If that is the case, what is the point of it?

Well UKNova was working fine for me too until a couple of weeks ago. It's just enfuriating.
On the My eBay page it's the part of the page where you find the
tabulation
as to how many people have been looking at what you're selling, what price
your item's bid stands at etc. So actually it's the most important part of
the page, the only bit I'd want to read in fact.

Which line on My Ebay? The uknova site works fine here - JAWS 6.2 and all.

Hi again Damon,
I should really qualify what I said.
At the beginning of this explanation, you say that the web sites run OK when JAWS is not running, but when you run it, they don't run. You then come to the conclusion you that you may end up buying a new computer. From your explanation, it sounds like the screen reader is to blame, not the computer to me. I think both Hal and Window-Eyes are more stable than JAWS nowadays.

Hi Damon,
How about a new screen reader? <Smile>. I reckon that's where your problem is. I don't reckon JAWS is all that stable any more in general.

Hi there,
Hoping someone can help me with this enfuriating and exasperating problem.
Some websites make my PC switch itself off and do a restart. This only happens when JAWS is on. If someone visits the websites when JAWS is not on, there is no problem at all.
I'll explain it a bit more in a second but has anyone else had this problem?
It's all to do with certain websites.
Sometimes when I land on a website the computer will do a restart before even letting me arrow down into any of the page. On other websites, however, like the 'My eBay' section in eBay, it causes the computer to restart when I arrow down to a certain line on the page.
Also: I used to visit UKNova.com with no problem whatsoever until recently. Now as soon as I land on the site the computer does a restart. Interestingly here though I decided to delete all cookies and I was able to look at the front page of UKNova without any problems. TO use the service tho, you need to sign in. As soon as you sign in, you're directed to a different part of the site, the website drops a cookie onto the hard disk and bang bang the computer automatically does a total system restart. Not sure, then, if the issue here is to do with the cookie or something else.
I am confused and irritated beyond belief and the more I surf the web the more websites I'm coming across that switch my PC off.
Other things I've done is delete all the history. It did nothing. It also didn't help when I upgraded to service pack 2.
Please please please if someone can give me any ideas or insight into what could be going on I'd be so immensely grateful.
I'm already seriously considering just buying a new computer which clearly is a silly reaction to this problem. Oh and incidentally I seem to have plenty of memory.
Thank you!
...Damon
