blistering, are you trying to download to a pc, or an android tablet?  Because that's the message I get when I try to download to my Samsung.   Downloads to a pc. or laptop work fine.
The 2 min. wait between downloads applies to us all.
I'm sure Mark or narfstar might want to add something to this.

Thanks for replying. I'm downloading on a pc using firefox. When the save dialogue appears it show the filename ( a .cbz file) but it then saves "comicbookplus.com.html" to disk. When opened it has the message "Something Is Not Quite Right" etc.

Now that shouldn't be happening.  I download to my pc or external hard drive using Firefox and, as I write, I just downloaded Forbidden Worlds #1 successfully and in a few seconds.  This is beyond my meagre knowledge to explain and I think it's time for the Wizard, so over to Mark.

Paw - Did you try what I posted on your Galaxy?? I think that will solve your problem

Blistering - Can you tell me what you are doing? Clicking on download file and then what options on Firefox?

Yes, it works.  Long press and save link option comes up.  Press "Save Link" and the file downloads.  Just done it. that's brilliant.  Thank you.

Unfortunately, my next 3 tries didn't work and I'm back to where I was.  Sorry.
But I got it working again.  Probably me mucking it up.

I click on the download link and the download a file dialogue opens, the file shown is a .cbz file. I have a download manager (downthemall) which is my default. I click OK and the html error page downloads.

I just tried again with the built-in downloader and it worked!

Tried again with downthemall and it failed!!

Back to firefox's built in download... it worked again!!!  SOLVED :)

Maybe I should tell the downthemall programmers.

Hello Comix,

I've tried to download a (randomly picked) file using Firefox and had no trouble downloading it.

The way I did it.
First: I have CDisplayEx (= freeware) installed on my pc.
When I clicked on the download button, Firefox wanted to open it automatically with CDisplayEx, but I've click the "save" option.
After the download was completed (according to Firefox) I could read the file without any problems, no Winrar had to be used.

If this doesn't help, perhaps you could mention the file you're having the problem with?
