I can't download some particular files, please help

Hi,

who can help me ?
Some files show as a URL things like
http://www.imslp.org/images/a/ad/Liszt_-_Soiree_9.pdf
and are NOT downloadable for me.
Another example is Chaminade Duo symphonique part 1.

If I want to download them, a blanc page appears, but no download window.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance !!

Best regards, Ferruccio

What browser are you using?

It works with me on FF2.

Try right-clicking and selecting "save link as" or the i.e/opera equivalent.

Hi, ArcticWind7,

thanks for your prompt help. But unfortunately, with Opera those files cannot be opened, at least not at my computer

I don't understand that !
Anyone with Opera browser can help me, please ??

Works fine here with Opera 9.20 (Linux). Have you tried again? Maybe it was a temporary network problem?

Thank you all for help.

To be not misleading: the most of the files are working fine for me, too. Only very few, like Soiree de Vienne No 9 show this odd URL , blank page and are not to open.

Yes, I have tried again.

I just tried it with Opera and got this "Hotlinking is not permitted; please link to the work page instead. Thanks!" Which didn't happen with FF. I don't get a blank page, but I can not download it or view it.

So you are not the only one... sorry I can't help though.

On a side note I think the symphonic poems need to be cleaned up... (Liszt)

If you get this when you click on the link in this forum, it is normal behaviour. You should not get this when you click the link in the work page, however.

But I get it at all places

If you get that hotlinking message even when you click a link in a work page, then there is indeed something wrong. (I first understood you got a completely blank page, which is why I thought of a network problem.) I have no idea what might be the cause, but as a quick workaround you might try to disable referrer logging (in Opera's quick preferences).

Thanks Leonard,
but that doesn't help !

Always appears this "images/a/ad" when it is not possible to open. In normal cases the files is opened without this blank page and without this new URL.

Very odd ...

Can you post the full URL of the images/a/ad URL? Also, have you tried clearing your cache and trying again?

Ferruccio · Post by **Ferruccio** » Sun May 13, 2007 6:21 pm

Dear Admin,

please look at my opening post. There is a complete URL quoted.

Yes, and I have cleared my cache, without success. I am sorry to cause trouble, but I'd like to get these scores !!

Thank you !

Have you tried on other browsers? Or rather, what browsers have you tried this on?

Post by **Leonard Vertighel** » Sun May 13, 2007 6:30 pm

Have you tried clicking with the right mouse button and selecting "save target as" from the context menu? Maybe it is just some strange problem launching the Acrobat reader, so that you can still save the file to disc and open it from there?

Now I saved it into the Download folder, it was a filesize of 43 B !
And then I would open it and Adobe Reader told me, that it couldn't be opened, because it perhaps is damaged, like if it has been sent as E-Mail attachment or so. Or it could be, that this format isn't supported by the Reader.
