My web browser will no longer download .rar files, why?
I know how to "unrar" files and have never had problems in the past having .rar files download to my desktop, but almost a week ago everytime I attempt to download a .rar it will only download ~2.5 kb's of the file. It actually does this on Safari as well...

No problem man! I started having that same problem, so I fished around online and someone suggested that. So I tried it and it works, so I figured I should post it on here to help others out. Glad I could help.

i found out what this problem was. it's been happening to me too. do you have norton security? apparently the "vulnerability protection" under advance settings in the firewall is blocking it, if you disable it to download it should work.
if you don't have norton, then idk what to tell you. maybe a similar thing with w/e security system you have
hope that helps!
You just made my day! I'm at work so I can't say this is solved yet, but I do have Norton Anti Virus and am p[retty sure I mightve messed something up in there right around the same time I could no longer download the files.
Thank you SO much for your help.
