Help with downloading libraries.zip
Monday, November 17, 2003 by Supreme Darkness | Discussion: Stardock Software
I try to download the libraries.zip file to view the entire library, but it never loads and I end up with no items in the Skins and Themes tab. What could be causing this?

It didn't work. I think the problem is that the default download manager that Windows uses to download files is faulty. It shows false information up until it has supposedly downloaded 50% of the file, then it says it has downloaded 99% right after. Is there a way that I can use another download manager (like FlashGet) to download libraries.zip and then install it into the browser?

Interesting... I have FlashGet and the Skinbrowser has never activated it, even though it works fine with IE (when I use IE lol). I believe with the nature of the file, it must be downloaded by the Skinbrowser and loaded when done. I would assume if you have a download manager jumping in, then its interrupting the process. Perhaps you need to set the download manager to download to the SB folder?

No. FlashGet doesn't jump in, though I wish it did. Whatever that thing is called (the save dialogue if you didn't have a third party download manager) it doesn't download files properly. It always gives false information about downloads, reading them at 50% done one second and 99% done the next. Note I said Is there a way that I can use ANOTHER download manager (like FlashGet, for example) to download libraries.zip and then install it into the browser?
