Default Firefox Issue (again)

Noticed that as of late my Firefox wont fully download files i.e. video clips etc, also stuff in Youtube too, it loads up to a point then just says theyre complete when they're not.

Wondering if there's anything i can do to make it stop doing it? Nothing more annoying than getting 10 seconds of a 1 min clip.

Firefox doesn't have issues, it must be the user :-)

Clear cache/temp files.

Also see if there is a connectivity issue.

Start > Run > Type cmd and press OK

Type: ping -n 50 google.com.au

The results should all have resonces from an IP address. If there are any requests time outs, sounds like there could be a problem with your actual connection.

Even worse when they get dilapidated LOL But I honestly don't know what the rave is by using Firefox. It never impressed me. It seems an anti Gates issue for most. I also had a look at the latest Netscape browser the other day, having been a few years since my last look. Nothing to rave there either.

On topic, I agree with clearing and tuning the cache.

When you do it, it may seem that the computer is frozen. Give it 5 mins or so to finish the process.

For Internet Explorer
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...learcache.mspx

For Firefox
http://www.ngcsu.edu/Adminsrv/infote.../ffcache.shtml

While your at it reduce the cache file size.

Hit the settings button

and in the cache size, reduce it to 10mb if your on broadband, 30mb if your on dial up.
