[haru]

Does anyone who has TPG connection have problems downloading pdf, ppt etc.. files from webct?

 

[Chris.]

yeh this is so fucking annoying i cant d/l anything off webct...and im on TPG too!
every other computer i try outside my house its fine, so i d/l it all from the library and put it on usb. i dont see how this is a problem with TPG but...??

yeah i use tpg and its fucked.

the uni spent so much money on a stupid system that always breaks down.

so is this only a tpg problem? I thought it was either my computer, or a site problem that affects everyone.

apparently it's TPG problem according to the people from the uni IT helpdesk =/

 

[me121]

great.. someone should give TPG a call.

 

[karoooh]

I'm on TPG too, but I'm always able to download my files. I can't at the mo though, cos I've used up all my download for the month and so it's so slow that the download 'times out' and so I can't get to anything.

that's the problem i'm having.. it times out.. it may sometimes get 10kb but then stops.

Never had any problems downloading files from CT on TPG.

But then again, i'm awesome.

I still can't download files.. This is really frustrating, i'm going to have to do it all at uni.

In firefox, go to tools > options > advanced > network > settings > manual proxy configuration. for HTTP enter "syd-pow-pr7.tpgi.com.au" and for the port "3128". A simliar thing can be done in ie. I tend to switch between ie and firefox for vista because it always seems to break in one, but work in the other. damm javascript makes it hard for mass downloading of files though.

i got up to tools > Internet options > advanced then i dont see the network button, all i see is boxes that are either ticked or not.

your in ie.
so go to tools > net options > connections > lan settings > check use a proxy server and enter the details from my previous post.
