Hi guys, really hoping someone can help me on this one. Eversince I uninstalled Windows Vista/bootcamp (because it's junk ;)), I've not been able to down load any .dmg files in either Firefox or Safari.

Everything else works fine, and I can still down load torrents etc, It just seems to be DMG files.

Embarrassingly, I have to dust of the the old windows box to get apps for the mac- :[ .

I know it isn't a ISP/router/network fault as all other machines on the network have no issues with this.

I have also tried reinstalling os x (but keeping user profiles, files etc), repairing disk permissions and checking all updates are installed, but with no luck. I really don't want to have to do another clean install of o sx if I can help it!

Any help on this will be really appreciated, as I'm almost at the end of my tether with this :( .

Thanks in advance, Ben.

Symptoms.

Sorry, I knew I'd forget the most helpfull info!

Whenever I click on a link to a DMG file, Firefox (or Safari) will open up a new tab which then remains a blank page with either "connecting to www....", "transfering data" or "done" in the bottom left corner. I've tried leaving it for over an hour, but it just remains the same.

I've tried googling for this fault, but it appears it's only me!:|

Any help really appreciated.
