Error: Failed to parse filename from URL

Saturday, October 19, 2002 by Duncan Stevenson | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I am trying to download some files with the wincustomise browser and am getting this message

I can download the files from the site with no problems, but its irritating me!

What can i do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

i'm trying to download the beautiful looking XP Glass Corona wallpaper by Voodoo_FreaK.

I also tried to download the Corona Windowblinds theme and XP Corona Wallpaper both by Alexandrie but i resorted to browsing to the website which worked ok.

I can still download items, just not using the wincustomize browser, which is a shame cos I payed good ££ for it (not that it isn't worth it!)

Anyway, i hope this helps you to help me!

Thanks again
Duncan

oh, i just tried to download another wallpaper as a test, and it worked perfectly! Is this maybe just a problem with certain files then?

Tnx

If I am correct it's a message that the file in the zip-file isn't a BMP....

I had been getting this message on various themes as well, and still got it a few times today, on a DesktopX theme (Greenretro_v2_o) and a WindowBlinds theme (RedRew-Cru). ?

Chances are it was server side. I had modified some scripts that could have caused this issue. If you use the "Refresh Site Updates Data" function it should clear up any problems relating to the parse error.
