Yep.

Maybe I was doing something wrong...but I couldn't get FDM to work.  When I would drag the download link to the FDM icon....it would download just the link...but not the sonar file.  I was doing this from within FireFox 24.0.

Joni, I get the idea it's the cake server, more than anything else. I get pretty good downloads from other sources... mostly. Unless someone has hooked an oiltanker anker on the SEACOM line, which happens too! :O)

If it is installed correctly (i.e. FDM is configured to monitor FireFox), click the link in FireFox and FDM will intercept the download request and popup and dialog. Review the dialog, make changes if necessary, then press OK.
 
To check if FireFox is monitored by FDM, open the FDM main window, Options > Setting > Downloads > Monitoring. Select the browsers to monitor. Monitoring will also add some options to the FireFox context menu (the one the pops up when right-clicking a link).
 
Edit: I use FireFox 24.0 and FDM

Yes.
Now I am using the new links from Soundfront that Ryan sent me. They do work much better.
Actually know I am getting dl speed like 300-500KB/sec witch is about half my top speed. Anyway, much better than the 6-10KB/sec I was getting with the amazon links.
That oiltanker anker also affects us form time to time lol
cheers,

Try using google chrome. I had the same problem when I was using IE 10.

Cakewalk should continue to focus on it's great SONAR product - and NOT waste cycles on download managers.  The internet has download managers whipped ;-).
FDM works wonderfully.
 
 

LJB this a bad time to DL anything from CW due the frantic DLing all over the world trying to do much the same thing. There is nothing to say except sorry.
