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.

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.

Hi
Along the same line, I sometimes start to download a book, it it does
not complete the download and the percentage stays at a given percent
and I have to start over. This does not happen all the time and I
can't figure out when or why this occurs.

> I have never encountered this before. 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.
