Turn off 'Friendly error reporting' in IE to get a better idea of what is wrong. To do this Find out here

seems to be working now and im mac user so no Internet Exploder!

I didn't think MACs ever had problems

Well...technically its not a mac its a compaq presario V4215EA Laptop running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 dual boot with XP Media centre (steering clear of vista!)

Aaaah! It's only pretending to be a MAC

I have been running Vista from Beta 1 and would not change it for anything, even a MAC

I'm afraid people find it so different from XP(it's more like OSX) that they immediately start looking for faults. The learning curve is more steep than 98 to XP, more like going from Windows to Linux, but it is worth it. It comes out of the box with and excellent Media Centre, ready to play and make DVDs for one thing. I

it.

Very bizarre I'm getting the same "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error" on rapidshare.com. All other sites work OK. I've just checked on my mobile and it browses to rapidshare without any problems through its internet. Quite bizarre - it's obviously an error with Sky/EasyNet.

Is it being blocked by them to curb excessive downloading?

bizarre it's back on now - they must have been quickly covering their tracks! I still don't understand why it was only on my Sky connection this problem.
