hi, i have a major problem because i can't download anything from the nvidia optimised drivers list...

after i hit the name link, "NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver 1.16369" for example, it takes me to a license agreement and no matter what i push (accept/reject) it takes me back to the Files main page... what should i do? is there any problem?

Try to disable download managers or firewall, and make sure your browser is up-to-date.

well guys.... i did and guess what... nothing happened! i mean it still redirects me to the main page after i hit accept... oh and fyi i'm using opera, but also i have tried with ie... i'll give it a try tomorrow from work with firefox, but i've got a hunch that this one won't be easy to solve...

Make sure that "referrals" are enabled.

if you're meaning "use referrer logging" from tools->preferences->network it is enabled... if anything else, could you be a little more specific?

thank you guys for your patience!

Really strange.... Is it happening only at this site or at other sites too?

Maybe u have a mess in registry or some virus which redirects links.... Try to clean up your registry with tools like eg.: ccleaner or jv16powertools, and scan ur computer with antivirus and online scanner, eg:

MKS Sp. z o.o. - Skaner on-line

Kaspersky Anti-Virus - najlepszy Antywirus. Ochrona przed wirusami, hakerami i spamem

I read about this last week. You'll need firefox, adblockplus and DownloadThemall

**
**edit** ok that doesn't work for linked EXEs so these instructions will wok ***
**

be sure you have DownloadThemall

I started here
NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver Downloads
I pasted a URL not the above link so here's a screenshot also

clicked

NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver 1.16369

see something like this

hit CTRL-U

in that pane click CTRL-F

enter .exe

now you're gonna want to grab that EXE so highlight the whole URL and CTRL-C to copy

quotes are NOT part of the URL

fire up downloadthemall.. its in firefox tools menu if you haven't changed your toolbar

click add and paste the URL on the clipboard into the first field and the URL of the page with the agreement into the second field

if you fail to correctly fill the referer field you'll only download an html file:

additionally you'll get to use firefox as these directions cannot be adapted for ickynet explorer
