Mass Download problem

Hello all,
I have read the posts touching on Mass download to Computer, so I know we have to be signed up to do so. The thing is, is that a lot of the Mass Download (click the little icon to get to the mass download which starts a zip file) once double clicked- once it goes to Unarchiving it stays "unarchiving" for eternity. It never unarchives, and it won't cancel when I hit the cancel button. Eventually I have to close all windows and shut down my computer. Then, when I go back to the soundtrack and download each individual song, it works. So very rarely does the mass download work, but the individual song download works every time. Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong? Thank you!! P.S. Even though I am DL each song at a time, it still is worth the $19.00! ^o^

Now if you have firefox running I'd suggest downloading the plug in DownThemAll! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201
It doesn't take much to figure that download manager out. It is fairly easy to use. If you're going to be setting it up to download from this site though you need to make sure you set the max concurrent downloads value to 1 otherwise it will mess up if it's set higher than that(default is 4). After you get all of that set up there will be a new option when you click on an item to download. Just select the DownThemAll! choice and you'll be good to go. If you're going to be queuing up more than 1 download from this site you'll also need to start them all paused until you've queued up everything you want to download. After you get the first file set up then you can just right click on all of the other files and select dTA OneClick! and it will save it in the same folder as the first file you set up. Unless you want to change where the item goes you can always choose that option and save a little bit of time. Then you can start them all.

Try that. And are you sure you donated to the correct one? There are two different ones to donate to. One is for unlimited daily anime downloading and the other is for mass soundtrack downloading.

Which program are you using for unarchiving? Try WinAce, you might get a better result.

Does it happen to all files? There may be a problem with a file or two, but generally files on the site do work and have been tested across lots of PCs by people who download every day.
