Hmm strange, I just updated to 7.2 and tried again, but still no go
Actually, I tried downloading a link that doesn't require a username/password (see example2.bld in attachment), i.e. just a plain normal http download, and even that gives me the same problem!
Dunno if it helps, but I've set the logging of the HTTP action to 'All' and tried again, see the results attached. Any idea?
(PS. It's not just this test site or server, I've tested with several different URLs as well)
(PPS. Just to be sure, I also disabled my firewall and tried again: no difference unfortunately)
