I would strongly urge everyone, including me, to wait for the word from HW before reinstalling KS7 or taking any other major action. I don't know if it would help, hurt, or not affect the BN/VN downloading issue, so I'm very hesitant to go ahead with this at this point. Just some more thoughts.

I'm running ks 7 and I downloaded it. I'm using a vnqt mpower. I'd be glad to try reinstalling ks 7, but I don't know how.

I usually download while connected to a wireless network. After I get the "failed to download" message, I can go check my Email, and that downloads just fine. I can also continue surfing the web without problems. However, I cannot download another file until I perform a reset. What's really got all of us confused and frustrated is that this never happened until Keysoft 7. I've been downloading files, both from BookShare and other sources, for quite some time now, and never experienced anything like this until I did this latest upgrade. >While I have you on the line, I'm trying like mad to find another site, besides BookShare, that we all can use to test out this problem. I tried Project Gutenberg. I was able to reproduce the download problem, I downloaded one complete file and failed to download the next. However, neither file would unzip when I renamed them with a BKS extension and ran them through the Book Reader. I got two different errors, go figure. <Smile> I did post the URL to the site for downloading Interactive Fiction, but there seems to be some hesitation on the part of list members to experiment with this site. I have some questions about that, but that's a discussion for another post. I have also experienced the same downloading difficulties with sites where one can download wave files, but that won't help KC and other deaf-blind users, for obvious reasons. >Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated, and thanks for trying to help us figure this out. >Sarah C >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ann K. >Parsons >Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 12:02 PM >To: Braillenote List >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Incomplete download confirmed by >Bookshare.org >Hi all, >This is a difficult week to get a hold of vendors because they're all >at CSUN.
