Piriform Forums > Piriform Software > Defraggler Discussion

I've downloaded the file a few times and every time the file is broken, any ideas?
hazelnut

Where are you downloading it from?
Josh D.
http://www.defraggler.com/

Is there a reason why you have it as a .rar file and not an .exe?
Josh D.
Because that's the file that gets downloaded:

http://www.defraggler.com/download/downloadbin saves as dfsetup_102.rar
hazelnut
Your link says 404 not found for me.

Mine from here downloads as an exe file

I think the download link needs to be fixed to work with Opera, downloaded as an exe in Firefox.
hazelnut
Downloads as an .exe file for me in opera. smile.gif

Anyone else have this problem?
Josh D.
hmm, downloads as an exe in Opera 9.27 but not in Opera 9.51

What version of Opera are you using?
hazelnut

Sorry Josh but I am using 9.51 smile.gif
Josh D.
hmm, no clue why it's downloading as a rar file then.

Hi Josh,
I am not an Opera user but is your downloader in 9.51 the same vers etc as the one you use in 9.27 ?
Does Hazel use the same downloader as you?
Just a thought.

Sounds like someone was smoking something a bit too strong before trying to download Defraggler.

404 links, non existent file names, alternative file extensions, etc...

Josh D.
Don't believe me? Look at this then.
hazelnut
Josh I don't use a downloader by the way.

Does this only happen with downloading defraggler or does it happen with other downloads being downloaded as .rar files?

When you click to download and you see the box asking where you want to save it does it say that it is an .exe then?

What happens if you download directly to your desktop?

Also have you considered that it may be a quirk for your system with opera 9.51, look in tool preferences, advanced, downloads, and see if anything strikes you about the file types.

Just remove the .rar from the save name and add .exe smile.gif
Josh D.
Believe it or not it seems to have been an issue with the opera6.ini file, I removed that file last night to try and fix some other problems and it seems to have fixed this one.

Glad you have got it sorted smile.gif
