evidently even the support email gets no response... Thanks to the peeps who tried to help. Evidently I made a $15 donation to something i cant use.. WTF !!
More than likely it's a problem with your computer, ISP, modem, router, firewall, or maybe even your virus software. If the programming software, or the Radio Reference database was the problem, these forums would be flooded with complaints by now.
I realize you are logging into the database and the forums via your browser without any problem, but the database downloads to the software use a different protocol to communicate with Radio Reference than your browser does.
Try turning off your firewall when you try a download to the programming software, or try turning off your virus software. See if that gets you through. See if your modem or router are blocking any ports.
