YAHOO IM Downloading Problems...
« on: February 01, 2008, 06:57:12 PM »
Everytime I try to download Yahoo IM onto my pc, it will download for a short time, then the message will appear saying that the connection has been interupted or stopped and asks if I want to retry or abort. When I click on "Retry", the download bar shifts from showing a partially installed report to a suddenly 100% completed download bar, but then nothing happens. I know there's no way it's going from like 7% downloaded to 100% THAT fast! ::)

Are you taking note of the location to which the file is being downloaded?  After the procedure "finished", did you browse to that location to see whether the setup file is there?

What type of Internet connection (dialup, cable, DSL) do you have?  Are you able to download other large files without problems?  What's you OS?  What browser are you using when downloading?  Where are you getting the Yahoo! Messenger file?
