Hi Nancy, There was a lot of on-list discussion of this very issue a couple weeks ago. In short, there are quite a few of us experiencing the identical problem, the inability to download more than one, or possibly two, files consecutively without the downloading aborting prematurely. Also, and this is extremely important to keep in mind, the problem is not with BookShare, but instead with Keysoft 7. Any site from which someone can download files exhibits the same behavior, failure to fully download and files that appear corrupted because they are incomplete. I first noticed the problem when I attempted to download games from the Interactive Fiction Archive. Another user has the same problem when she attempts to download podcasts from BlindCoolTech and other sources. We all have the BookShare issue, at least those of us who are members. The only temporary cure is, as you pointed out, a reset. However, having to reset each and every time one wants to download something gets pretty old pretty fast. As far as I know, it is only mPower users who are having this problem. (If I've got that incorrect, someone please set me straight.) Most of those who have reported having trouble have had their Braille displays transplanted into mPowers, but there is at least one VNQT mPower user with the same thing going on. Both BT and QT units are involved.
I hope this helps to shed some light on your problem, and rest assured that you are not alone and that HW knows about the issue.

I'm sure there's enough room on my 4 gig Cf card, but I occasionally now get hung up with Bookshare since Ks7. I have an 18-35ll Bt m-power transplant, and sometimes the book will download to a certain point, and the file will disappear. Sometimes when I know the file has downloaded completely, it'll say "password, I'll put the password in, hit enter, and it'll say invalid password. Then I must erase the file, do a reset and usually get the whole book on the card again. It's weird. I'm not sure it's because I had to put Bookshare in My Favorites myself, because my transplant didn't even have Bookshare on it when I received it. I can't imagine that that would make a difference, because ts where Pulse Data puts it, right? I don't think it's burned into rom or anything. I'm typing my password correctly, and I'm wondering if anyone with a Qt or Bt keyboard is having any strange quirks since Keysout 7. I'm referring to m-power users, and I never had any problems until Ks7, which I still like, of course. It's not as if I don't have many books to read, but I'm so addicted to downloading books that sound good, and it'll take me a couple lifetimes to read them all, grin. Thanks for any feedback you give me. It could be that I'm wearing the one card out, who knows. Talk to you later.
