I can't start any downloads, download links just lead to a blank page

For example, when I click TempleOblivionXP.wba the URL doesn't change, but the page turns white and my download doesn't start. Every rare once in a while I actually get a download to start, but not usually.
Using Firefox 3.0.1 on windows xp btw.
EDIT: Also, I figured it might be due to download limits or something, but there's clearly a bug. From downloading a single 52KB icon my download amount rose from 0MB to 10MB, then by trying to download something else it jumped all the way to 25MB and the download wouldn't even start...
EDIT2: Yes, it seems every time I click on a download link my amount downloaded changes to reflect this, but I can't download the file...

What happens when you use IE to download skins from Wincustomize.com?
Are you talking about Impulse? SDC?
Which one?
I can't start my new download of Sins either-it's just staying on 0kb and says 'connecting'. I'm at i34 on a beefy internet connection so i know it's not router problems!

i am having the same problem...
Which one?

I cannot download any skins, deskscapes or whatever from WinCustomize OR the Skins tab in Central.
Strange... it seems that all downloads from website of Wincustomize fail.

What happens if you clear your cookies and use Internet Explorer to download the skins you want? FF3 is not 100% compatible with our sites yet. There are no critical errors that we know of yet but you may experience problems until the forums and the main sites are updated.
