Why do Yahoo! Games binary file downloads get canceled?
Ok... example. When I attempt to download a game from Yahoo! a window opens stating,
"You have chosen to open
yahoo_ballville_tm6-6.exe which is a: Binary File from: http://h.yimg.com
Would you like to save this file?
Save File Cancel
When I hit "Save File", the Downloads window pops up stating,
yahoo_ballville_tm6-6.exe Canceled - ying.com
If I right-click on the download message I have the options to: Retry, Copy Download Link, Select All, Remove From List.
When I hit retry, it appears to be downloading, however, when I go to the download file and double-click on the download for it to install, I get another whole different message:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jeff\My Documents\Downloads\yahoo_ballville_tm6-6.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
So, can anyone tell me what's wrong? I have downloaded games before, but all of a sudden I can't.
Thanks!
