Rene de Feijter Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have tried many times to download the 5.6Gb Vector 1.20 update file. Using Google Chrome as a browser and I tried it with a download manager on my home PC and on a laptop computer. It always fails and I end up with an unusable file. I always start software as an admin. Can you please tell me how and where this file can be downloaded without it getting corrupted? René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think you would be better going back to your FSS account and downloading the full version 1.2 from there. I use IDM which you can try here for free. https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene de Feijter Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Nick, Tried that... didn't work. Downloadmanager gives a network error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I fear I cannot help you further then, I can visit my account at the Flight Sim Store and using the Internet Download Manager, the download starts as it should. I have a very slow broadband connection, so I cannot wait 11 hours to see if it completes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi, Don't forget to investigate if there are any troubles with your internet provider. Poor and loss of connexion sometimes occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene de Feijter Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have 120 Mb internet connection, shouldn't be a problem... Never have a problem with downloading except the ORBX files when downloadiung with Google Chrome. Using a download manager I can download all ORBX files except the Vector update.

dominique Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 This issue appears from time to time in the forum and quite often Chrome is the browser... You should try with another browser. I use the IE10 with FDM without any problem in spite of a bad and slow connexion . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lincoln Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hello Rene, Did you try another browser? Keen to see how you went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene de Feijter Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 I tried with a download manager. that didn't work either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabble Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I often use jdownloader, which is standalone and doesn't depend on any browser. Never had a problem with it. It can also provide logs which might be useful to track down any connectivity problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene de Feijter Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 @jabble Thanks. This downloader did it! It only installed some horrible peace of software that took me some time to remove.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabble Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 @jabble Thanks. This downloader did it! It only installed some horrible peace of software that took me some time to remove.... Good to hear it worked, but it shouldn't actually install anything - it's a Java app that is run directly via a shortcut - removing it simply means removing the folder. I see the page has a number of adverts - maybe you clicked on one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Attwood Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It installs Dregol, a browser hijacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabble Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Oh that's bad - I wonder if they're aware of it. It sure didn't do that last time I downloaded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene de Feijter Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well it comes with malware... That's not funny. It slows Google Chrome and shows all kind of ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabble Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sorry guys, this is news to me - I've used it for some time without problems, but I see now there are various complaints about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabble Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well, I did a search and it turns out they're very aware, and issued this statement after this of angry users complaining. The statement was issued in February, yet the problem clearly continues. Not good at all. A pity, it used to be a good product. Again, sorry for the recommendation guys - I'm only now catching up with the new situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rene de Feijter Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Richard. Let me try again: Bad things happen ;-) After removing and reinstalling Google Chrome I was free of adware.... Lesson learned: Don't use Jdownloader! René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
