Download Error

Jean · 05-11-2009, 03:56 PM

I tried downloading 0.5.11 and received an error:

Download Error

calibre-0.5.11.exe could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

Change the folder properties and try again or try saving in a different location.

I've tried saving to a couple different locations and still get the same error.

Same issue here. Downloaded 5.011 but upon completion of download, I get the error, "...calibre-0.5.11.exe could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

Change the folder properties and try again or try saving in a different location.

The file shows as failed in the download window.

Upon further checking my McAfee software is reporting a Trojan warning. It looks like permissions have to be given to allow an "unsolicited connection to UDP port 64513 pn my computer". I got a different port number the next time I tried.

I have the option of allowing to IP as trusted, allowing the IP as standard, or banning. I ran a trace and it is untraceable.

Vista OS.

Please advise so I make the right choice since the port number is different each time.

I suggest simply disabling mcafee temporarily while doing the download. Or just turn off download monitoring in McAfee

Katelyn, not sure if it helps, but you may try to add the following IP to your trusted list: 78.47.169.178

I added the IP address and that fixed the problem. I hadn't had time to try disabling McAffee yet and this was an easy fix.

Thanks!
