Unable to Download Free Software listed at TechRepublic Software Downloads

Tags: Off Topic
As a member of TechRepublic, I receeive periodic mails, listing downlodable freeware. But I am unable to download ANY of them, eventhough there is a download icon against the software name, indicating "click here" to download.

I am having a HP PavilionPC (model t820i) with 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD (of which only 16 GB is occupied), Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I am able to surf the web or download software from other sites readily.

I have ensured that the sites com.com, bnet.com,https://techrepublic.com and zdnet.com are in the ALLOWED list in my Internet Secure Sites.

I would be thankful for a positivel working answer.

I think it came down to the internet browser being used.

I'm assuming you use Internet Explorer?

Try using Firefox.

To Overcome Inability to Download Software from Tech Republic Download List

Thank you Old Mycraft for your suggestion. I tried Firefox; but even hen downloads don't happen.
In view of the many interesting s/w being reported by the TechRepublic, this inability makes that service of TechRepublic toatally unusable.
I would appreciate all help from users of TechRepublic or the organizers of TechRepublic themselves, at the earliest.
Thhanking all concerned in advance.
