Download progress bar spirals from ultramegabit

[labialover]

When downloading, the progress of the download is normally shown by a blue progress bar in the list of downloaded files. However, when I downloaded from ultramegabit, on at least 2 of the 3 occasions, the bar became a continually rotating blue and white spiral. That concerned me so I stopped the downloads and deleted them. Does anyone know what the spiral indicates or why it occurs?

I have had the computer for a year and this has never happened before.

By your description I can't help (I don't have a mac). Which program do you use?.
If happens again do an screencapture and post the image. Maybe is due to a connection problem, but I can't tell for sure.

That 'barber's pole' graphic is usally displayed when your computer is awaiting for the download to begin.

I note that some of the scene had started, but maybe the free downloads from ultramegabit are so badly throttled (in order to try and get people to sign up for their premium service), that it results in a very poor speed.

If this doesn't happen with any other filelockers, you can rest assured that it's them, not your Mac that is the problem.

Unfortunately for us, ultramegabit is an allowed filehost here on PS, so the best I can do is just recommend you seek the files you want on an alternative host...
