.dmg Failed To Mount?

ant1v1ru5 · Post by **ant1v1ru5** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 4:28 am

I am still using Adium X 0.84 because that is the last version that has actually downloaded proprly for me..

What happens:

I begin to download the latest version of Adium; the download usually gets about 1/8 finished and says ".dmg failed to mount" - every time.

I have tried downloading the file via Safari, and Firefox = no avail. Is there any way I can get the latest version of Adium on my Mac?

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance: ~Ant

This IS the right place to ask for help? Right?

Yes, this is the right place. I don't have a solution to your problem, but I would give it a day or two for someone who has a solution to read your question.

Have you tried emptying your caches? Applications such as browsers tend to make heavy use of them and include empty options for a reason. Also, more details such as OS, version(s) of Safari, etc. are helpful.

Also, 20 minutes is likely not sufficient time... patience is a virtue.

I empty my caches regularly, thanks for the suggestion.

I'm running Safari Version 2.0.2 (416.13), on OS X Version 10.4.3 on a Powermac G4 384 MB RAM.

2 more stabs in the dark:

1. Download to a different location (if you have been downloading to the same spot, i.e., Desktop or dedicated download folder)

2. Different mirror (if you download from the same location from sourceforge.net, try a different location [i.e., instead of Atlanta, GA use NY or somewhere else]

Ok thanks..

The only place I know to download it is: http://www.adiumx.com/

I couldn't find it on sourceforge.net - do you have a link maybe?

Thanks.
