Is it just me, or is there some kind of problem with ACTUALLY DOWNLOADING from free-codecs.com today?
I am specifically trying to grab the Quicktime Alternative package. A search for "Quicktime Alternative" pulls up a list of four packages, one of which actually is Quicktime Alternative. I click on that link and get to an informational page about the software, containing a link consisting of the single word, "Download." I click that link and am taken to a page containing what claim to be links to primary and mirror downloads. Clicking any of the alleged links, takes me back to the free-codecs.com home page where I started. WTF?
Just in case this was a problem with Quicktime Alternative in particular, I chose a different item at random from the list on the home page... but had the exact same experience.
Oh -- and reading the "How to Download" fine print at the bottom of the Download page, makes no difference whatsoever -- right-clicking the links and saving what they point to, attempts to save a file named free-codecs.html -- i.e. a copy of the home page HTML itself -- which is not helpful!
Suggestions? Alternate sources? Anybody got the package and can just SEND it DIRECTLY TO ME?
Thanks in advance,
Xet
Full Version: Can't Download?
Hi The www.Codecs.com Site is now working I have just downloaded the latest Good Luck
Sorry Tiapan1007
The case is exactly as outlined below by Xetwnk
I tried to download Shorten 3.6.0 and got the same endless loop referred to by Xetwnk.
There definately is an issue trying to download Shorten or any other program from Free-codecs on a PC!!
I REGISTERED JUST TO POST THIS CONFIRMATION THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH DOWNLOADING FROM FREE-CODECS THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT!
You may have something that works somehow, if so post it here because its not obvious!!

Audiophile, that was a temporary problem. It happened a couple of months ago (Jun 30, 2006). Meantime (almost) all downloads are working.
Free-Codecs.com/Codecs.com has thousands of visitors/day. We've received a few hundred emails when that problem occurred. Believe me, it isn't the case now
About Shorten: it was added a mirror. If you can't download it using the first link, please try the mirror
