Hello. I am having trouble downloading files. It keeps asking me for a username and password. Any suggestions?

I cannot download a file since October. I thought it was anything temporary but I still can't download. I've tried multiple computers and multiple operating systems.
I always get this error:
...

As this isn't too satisfactory i've decided to use "wget" (I've translated to english):
Code:
$ wget ftp://www.simviation.com/47military/Ra-5CupX.zip
--2009-12-19 16:35:43--  ftp://www.simviation.com/47military/Ra-5CupX.zip
           => `Ra-5CupX.zip'
A resolver www.simviation.com...205.252.250.27 (resolving)
A conectar www.simviation.com|205.252.250.27|:21... conectado. (connected)
A entrar como anonymous ... Entrada com sucesso! (successfuly connected!)

==> TYPE I ... feito.  ==> CWD /47military ...  (done)
Pasta '47military' inexistente. (The folder '47military' doesn't exist)
 



I gived another try, using the "ftp" client:
Code:
$ ftp 205.252.250.26
Connected to 205.252.250.26.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.9 Server (Simviation) [www.vatoosha.com]

ftp: local: 47military/02t33fab.zip: No such file or directory
ftp>
 



It is very strange because I can see the file but when I try to download it, it says the file does not exist :|

Do you have an idea what can be causing this?
Thanks,
Miguel

Hi

Sorry you are having problems.
A couple of things :


1. Anon FTP connections will be blocked unless made using a browser. FTP clients will be blocked. Browser only access.

2. WGET will not be able to connect because it is a download manager that works by making multiple connections to a file. Mutliple connections are blocked outside members area to control bandwidth.

3. Most browsers are fine -- Firefox,  IE & Chrome. Opera seems to have a problem but we have not recieved many complaints as most people will just try Firefox.

I suggest you try Firefox to see if you still have the problem.
