Will not download files

I click on a file (in the GoDaddy file manager) and select download, it asks where to put the files, I select a folder and nothing happens. No error, just nothing. I do the same thing in Chrome and it downloads without a problem.

Gekose oplossing

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

See:


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
