    Floodle is a completely kosher site - I've used it for a good couple of years. Some, if not most of the ebooks are rubbish but it saves buying them off ebay!

    A friend of mine sent me that link, told me that it has ebooks that people tend to sell on ebay.
    But when I try to download from it, it gives me the message above.

    Now the problem could actualy be on my side, or the site has a fault, or maybe its a spam site, I don't know.

    I just i thought i'd ask if anybody has actually downloaded successfully anything from that site, or if anybody knows what that message means.

    Thank You

    What were you trying to download? I tried 3 links & they all worked fine. G
  • Ah so we have a bit more info. The user was downloading from the site!

    Still not enough.

    Where does the error come in. In the browse? In an external box?

    What file were you downloading?

    Have you tried other files?

    Have you tried right mouse clicking on the file and clicking "save as" and downloading that way?
