Windows XP trying to download zip format music files?
Trying to send someone some music as zip files via wetransfer.com or dropbox. The problem is they are still using XP os and it seems that he can't download the files using either service. Is their a way I can send it to him? Either using a different service? Or if I send it as a different format/file type?

Re: Windows XP trying to download zip format music files?
this is what he gets when trying to download from wetransfer.com
I cannot download the 2 files. The page/link from the download icon from the body of the email from the wetransfer email does not load correctly. This is what the page looks like when I click on the download link from the email: You are using an outdated browser that WeTransfer no longer supports. Things may not work properly, or even at all. Please update your browser now. We recommend Google Chrome. Downloader arrow We're ready...

You could try filemail.com, as mentioned in the bottom of this thread:
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...d.php?t=127857 IMO, this may be more of a browser issue than what file sharing service you are are using. No members have liked this post.

Re: Windows XP trying to download zip format music files?
So, is anything preventing him from downloading Google Chrome and moving on from there?
Or Firefox, or Opera, etc? The following members like this post: sonofedg

Re: Windows XP trying to download zip format music files?
I am starting to rethink it here and think the problem is with google chrome browser not playing nice with XP. I see opera browser could be an answer, is there any other browser right now that will work with and supported with/for XP?

Re: Windows XP trying to download zip format music files?
It says plainly it's a browser issue, not an XP issue. Always possible some updated browsers might not work with XP, of course.

Re: Windows XP trying to download zip format music files?
Use Firefox. I have an XP system, and have recently downloaded files with it, on firefox and I can personally verify it works... Is he still using IE on XP? That is a bad idea...

He is using chrome with XP and he seems to not be able to download a zip file from wetransfer.com? He was able to download the app 7up from there site. So he is able to use and download some stuff from some sites using the chrome XP combo. So are you saying you can download a zip file from wetransfer.com with no problems? Or do you know a site that he could download a zip file from? No members have liked this post.

Re: Windows XP trying to download zip format music files?
On one of my old machines I use FireFox on XP and WeTransfer works just fine.
The user may be the problem. The firemail.com suggestion is excellent. No members have liked this post.
