Today when I came home from work my computer somehow had restart on its own and my Windows browser was updated to ei 11. Now all my downloads gets the same file name " attachment " and I can not download hj split files.
So I thought I would use firefox instead but it was just the same problem.
Anyone know what this it and how to fix it.

All seems to be working as normal for me pierre (with Firefox)
There were known problems with IE10
I don't know the answer myself but I will pass this on to admin for you.
I have exactly the same issue pierre... very annoying!
I am now using chrome and all is fine :D
Very wierd but firefox works for me today and ofcause chrome works also.Quote:

Ps. Thanks for the replies.
this happened to me a few months back.
don't know exactly what, but when i updated my Java it fixed it.
it is definitely related to the add ins somehow.
Hi ... same problem here. I've tried everything I can think of. I cannot download the split files, but also I cannot download many of the other files. And the file name is always the same "attachment" which obviously I can change, but its annoying. But the main problem is not being able to download many files. This is going to start making a negative impact on business, guys. New people will not want to sign up if they have the same problems !
Well Dex all I can say is that with ie 11 I get the same problems at lots of other sites using ajax not just vbull forums so I think it is their problem.
Do you also get the same issues with it elsewhere or just here?
I too believe this is a Microsoft internet explorer problem if I use IE 11 it does do as you say downloads all files as attachments and they are not named correctly.
But when I use the latest version of mozila firefox (got no idea why you wouldnt use this instead of IE) every thing downloads as it should.
I dont think there is any thing we can do to help with this except sugest alternative till IE is fixed
I too vote for Firefox :)Quote:

To be honest I don't know why anyone would even consider using IE anymore :wall:Quote:

if you have already upgraded then try putting IE in compatibility mode for IE 9, this worked for me when mine was upgraded to 10.
when Vbulletin release an update for fixing IE11 I will of course update it, but the one that they released earlier this month is reporting issues with posting in IE11, so till its stable ill hold off on our upgrade.

I appreciate the attention you are giving to this matter. And I hope it gets resolved. Sadly, I have tried Firefox with the same results. I have tried updating every codec I can think of. I have system restored to factory settings. Everything ... and its still the same. hmmm. I'll keep trying I suppose! Thanks ~ Dex
Oh, to Simon's comment ... I only have this problem here. (Also, I must expose some of my ignorance, but I'm not sure what Ajax and Vbull are.)
Ajax is a programming language for web applications to communicate with servers.Quote:

Firefox 26.0 and Windows 7 is working fine for me now with a selection of random videos (split and not split) from around the forum. I am afraid one of the technical wizards will have to help. :confused:
I too have had the same issue. I just figured out how to make it work.
1. Highlight the title of the vid including .mpeg or .whatever movie version
2. Hit copy
3. Go back to the vid
4. Scroll over and hit right click which highlights the attachment.whatever
5. Hit paste over item 4 above - deleting the attachment.whatever and putting in the real title, including the .avi
6. Hit save as and it will download and save as before.
Hope this helps.
Or and this is purely a guess on my part as I am running FF and am having no problems.
Once you have downloaded a clip from here, (in this instance call it FF Cum 01.wmv), and you are left with a file that is just called "attachment", try renaming the downloaded file to FF Cum 01.wmv and see if this helps.
