Default Re: Download Never Finishes

So I already have winspmbt (paid version) but I thought I'd try and download this file to see what happened. I am also using edge on windows 10. Didn't work. I ended up with a file called "Unconfirmed 555445.crdownload" of 167 mb. I got the same thing with one of the update files. (I've been able to download all the updates previously). Edge didn't even ask me what I wanted to do with the file (or try to stop me using it!!)

I was able to download a 451 mb file from another site.

I installed Firefox, and that downloaded the Winspmbt file just fine. (And once I remembered the full name is mozilla firefox I was able to find it in apps and uninstall it.)

So it looks like there's something going on between Edge and Shrapnel Games.

But please, Ravindau, install firefox (or another browser) temporarily so you can get the program. It's a lot of fun.

more... you don't have to change browsers or do anything with Edge. Just get the new browser (eg firefox), and once it's installed copy the web address for the download page, downlaod the file, and then unininstall firefox.

Truth be told I do use chrome for both work and pleasure, but its more of a convivence then anything else.

Shock Re: Download Never Finishes

I am sorta used to Edge, though...

Has anybody worked around the problem with Edge and managed to install SPMBT?

I just DL'd two together. They are V6 of the free game so you need to patch up to bring them current

When they are done they show this in the Downloads folder



is this what you are seeing ??

IF YES then simply rename ".crdownload" to .ZIP

If not then IDK what else to say but I just downloaded two copies of the free game simultaneously ( because I could not stop one with Edge ) and they both showed up fully with the exception they both showed .crdownload and when that is changed to .ZIP I was good to go

That HAS TO BE an "edge thing"..... I use chrome and have never seen anything like that before ( which is why I avoid Edge......)

I tried out DRG's suggestion and that works, so Ravindau that's your workaround for Edge.

Another idea suggested by Shrapnel was to use a download manager.

I personally have had no reason to use one but I am not using your OS or your machine

I actually didn´t see anything. The download process just never finished.

BUT your fix worked. I renamed the unfinished download file as you suggested and was finally able to install the game. Thanks!
