Real Dumb n00b question

[Clip]

alright like title sez im prolly gonna get flammed like no other for this but im having a hell of a time getting any of the ftp links off this forum to work i click em and they dont seem to want to load up i think ive gotten 1 to work out of all that i have clicked on and yes i have sat here and let them do whatever they were doing but sooner or later i would get and error saying the the ftp session was terminated

Probably, the best thing for you to do is to download a ftp program, like FlashFXP ( www.flashfxp.com/ ). It's easier to work with, than using explorer, either to manage your downloads or to simply connect to them. You will find a lot of useful tutorials in the section related to them. Don't be afraid to ask, if you don't know something...we all had to start from somewhere, right? BTW, you can try the ftp addresses in older posts, but probably it will be wasted time, since most of them go down after a while...but just keep trying. Don't forget to contribute to the forum, posting and clicking 0)

Hope it helped...

YOu also need to be quick.... the FTP's arn't up forever....

[DarkPhantom]

Yeah, Kardinal is right. Unless you are trying to enter someone's ftp server, that usually are always up and running (unless the owner deactivate it for some reason), the ftp will probably go down. The trick is to be quick and pay atention to the messages that are given to you when you aren't able to connect. Usually, ppl don't get in because the ftp is full, and immediatly assume that the ftp is down...try not to hammer the ftp too, or your IP can be banned...
