I can browse but can't download - please help!

Hi all,

I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me some advice/assistance.

I connect using a one way satellite system (Opensky satellite, Silvermead dial up) and although I can browse the web OK, I'm having problems downloading through Azureus, IRC and Soulseek.

I've asked this question in the satellite forum, but its a bit quiet in there so thought I'd try here.

Please see this link for more details on this problem:

Any advice would be really appreciated!!

Technical support? We're talking Silvermead here - they think technical support is a hi - tech truss.

I think the problem is with the Opensky connection or something my end - most likely port settings.

I've tried different dial up services and still have the same issues.

The problem is, I'm rarely in front of my home PC during support hours. The guys at Micronet have been pretty helpful so far, I'll try to speak to them soon about this problem, just thought I'd ask in here too.

Thanks
 
I think I read somewhere that OpenSky had some satellite problems, in the past, and this resulted in users having trouble when they had apps that tried to open lots of connections. Sounds like it could be similar but it's just a guess. :shrug:
 
Thanks for the tip off, sounds like a potential cause.

I spoke to the guys at Micronet this afternoon who suggested a couple of potential solutions, which I'll try this weekend.
