texasmike...If you are not a subscriber or have not purchased Stardock software, I believe you have a 50mb download limit.

If you click your username you can see how much you have downloaded

Open the view menu, choose settings, click on the advanced tab, and choose a folder you would like your downloads saved to.

Try going to site thru IE https://www.wincustomize.com/ and see if it does the same thing. If it works ok then it's something in your Skinbrowser. If it doesn't work jump on Stardock IRC and see if someone can help. It's probably something with your account......

Check and see if that folder exists on your hard drive using Windows Explorer. If it does not then you need to either create it using Explorer or choose another file in your Wincustomize settings.

You are welcome. I had the same problem once so I recognized from the symptoms you described that you could have been having the same problem too.
