Spontaneous stb reboot - anyone else?
 
I've just had my stb spontaneously reboot (Norwich area), bit of a bugger as I was half way through a hefty download :mad: Anyone else have the same? What could be the reasons for this happening?

no idea but my new phone has spontaneous reboots when you go on some wap sites. :( .... technology today....surley if you click on the link again (the download file) the download would resume from where it left off .. this happens to me and as long as you click the exact same link. no?

Could have been a slight glitch in your electricity supply.

Some downloads support resume but not all.

use a download program for downloads...i think there was one called Real download...or else it was somedownload accelerator but all your downloads are stored and you can pause resume etc..its handy if things like this happen

Internet Download Accelerator or IDA.It allows for resumption too.

Incog. :)

the boxes just reboot by themselves sometimes. normally when it has got a problem, and it fixes it's self! - which is very annoying sometimes, especially when you are watching a PPV movie (luckily ntl cs give me a refund for each movie -3- which encounters the problem) or downloading on broadband! :mad:
