On Mac 10.5.8 download Failed help please.

Hi all,

I'm on a Mac pro here, v10.5.8. I try downloading something (on safari) and it says verification failed. I checked an i-mac upstairs and the same thing.

I was able to receive the download via a zip file someone sent. (this was a couple weeks ago).

These downloads have updates which I'm trying to get. But again, I'm getting verification failed. I installed Firefox and tryed it that way, It fails and says codec overrun, failed to mount.

I have not had any download problems in the past, both with dsl or now fios except for this one.

I did alittle research and see suggestions like resetting spi or router firewalls??? How do I do that, I believe I have the Router M1424WR.

I do believe this may be my issue. Others seem to get these downloads, but I can't on my two macs which come from this one router.

Thank you for any suggestions.

So I accessed my router. I go to firewall and there's 3 options. Max-Typ.-Min. I put it from Typ. to Min. but download does not come thru. Is there an OFF or is Min off?

any suggestions? It's a verizon M1242WR router.

thank you.

The min security is the lowest setting on the mi424. Are you connected wirelessly by chance?

Thanks for the reply Hubrisnxs,

Hard wired here. Ethernet.

there is a slight chance that it's a config on the pc's that are common, as odd as it sounds. Try the apple broadband tuner and let me know if it helps. there was a recent problem like this for a couple mac users
