My HP laptop doesnt download anything.
I've tried downloading music from programs such as Datpiff.com or HotNewHipHop.com but the file for some reason wont download. The same problems apply with other browsers. The sites for some reason always say "waiting" for... but the file wont actually download. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello JSanchez14, check firewall and your other security software(antivirus, antispyware) if the problem is there.
Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet

thank you
I checked if it was a firewall problem but it is not and im still not sure whats wrong. Is there a way to know whats wrong without trying a possibilities? Its still the same thing were the file is "waiting".
so i tried again and still no luck.Anyone know what i should try?
it didnt work. Im pretty sure its not firewall related but i will try anything really.
Is that downloading done via a normal link (<a href>) or is there JavaScript involved?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Can you download files from other websites?
i belive there is javascript involved.

I tried downloading the mixtape above but it doesnt work. On the bottom it says waiting for edge-mt.datpiff.com..
I am able to download pictures and other small things but not music. I have tried different websites to download music but they never work. It is the same problem where it is "waiting."
Im pretty sure some settings are disabled and do not allow me to download music. Or can it be the browser? like the extensions
