Hi,

I have a problem to access Anidb using IE6. When I try to get the site, IE6 try to download a file called animedb.pl.

With Firefox I able to access the site correctly.

This is the error:

I am using XP with SP2.

Your IE6 is bugged, like IE6 is in general. AniDB no longer supports IE6.

I suggest you download Opera or Firefox

use a decent browser. IE isn't supported by anidb and will surely get even more broken in the future

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

I try this:

Use HTTP 1.1
Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections

And now I am able to access anidb correctly.

By the way, I never have any problem using IE to access anidb.

For me, everything is fine with IE6.

I couldn't access the site with IE6 until I checked "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy" from my workplace computer. At home, Opera 9 gives me no problems. I wish I could install another browser here at work, though...

Hmm, last time I checked you could simply download firefox, unzip it into a directory you can write to and then simply start it from there. So you do not need to install it.

Or take it in on a USB stick, etc etc.

Yep, IE sucks, and IE7 sucks exponentially worse. And now, before they even have XP working correctly, they're trying to force Vista on us.
