View Full Version : Download Lost
I went to the download page, saw the Beg notice, went to PayPal, made a donation. then I went back to the download page and selected the first choice on the list, BN *****. I started the download, to the 'Desktop'. The downloader said it would be more than an hour (slow dialup). So I went to eat lunch. When I came back the download window was gone, and a IE page full of spam, offers of other security programs was present. I looked to the 'desktop' for the download but it was not there. I did a search for 'spybotsd160.exe' on my computeer but could not find it.
So now I get to wait for another hour+ to download the installer from the Safeer website this time. This sucks !! So I thought that I would come to this forum to snivel and whine.
Any Idea why the first download was not succesfull??
Thanks, mark:sad:
Hello, :)

What 'beg' notice was that?
So now I get to wait for another hour+ to download the installer from the Safeer website this time.
Which site did you download from the first time?
Regards.

Spybot-S&D has long grown a full-time job for me and causes quite a lot of work for our volunteers. I am working hard and it is great fun to do it. Of course all the infrastructure we use causes costs, and I have got to live on something, but at the same time I believe in free software. Therefore I decided to keep Spybot-S&D free and give you the freedom to decide if and how much it is worth to you.
If you can spare a few bucks, please donate to our cause. This is purely voluntary though - if you do not donate, you will not get less support from us.

Hi markl66,
Ok just making sure you were not downloading from a rogue site.
I don't know why you had a problem with the download from betanews, hope your retry is smoother.

Why was this thread moved. How do I tell where it is now?
