Problem downloading filters to filterforge

Rilos,

Filter Forge uses secure connection (port 443) for downloading filters. Please make sure it is not blocked on your computer.

Rilos, please try one more thing -- reconfigure Filter Forge Options.

Run Filter Forge and select Tools > Options > Online tab. Then, if you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, choose the "Use proxy" option. If you don't use proxy, choose "Direct connection".

Thanks for your help @Bella, GMM -
unfortunately nothing works.

I think its due to the fact that most ports are blocked here.
O.k. I can check with an other computer at home, but my home
connection is very slow (living in the countryside...)

Thanks so far!

Hi Guys,

finaly it works when I say "direct connection" in the options settings!
It tried that before and it didn't work.

Now, that I opened nearly every possible port it works but only with direct
connection.

Maybe it would be a good idea, to offer some normal download procedure for filters
as well as the program itself.

Best regards,
rilos

Good morning Kraellin,

no, I just use a firewall (zonealarm) and set all rights for ff and opened some more ports (443). I dont use any router.

And it still doesn't work from company-access (they dont open these ports I'm afraid).

on my work i have proxy with autorization (login and password)
filter forge dont have a autorization dialog on proxy
when will be added to the authorization on the proxy?
I have no opportunity to download filters through my proxy

Xuman, I think that it would have been much better that you have opened a new thread to have an answer as this one has been from 2007 !!!

I can suggest two things if you can´t download filters directly:

1 - OPTION 1 - Download the filters on another computer that CAN download, installing there Filter Forge, and then make a backup of the filters you downloaded and then copy them to your computer at work.

You do not need to download one by one, as you can use the Filter Browser included already inside the Filter Forge application to download many filters at one time.

and

Where are the downloaded Filter Forge filters located physically?

2 - OPTION 2 - Buy the full and complete Filter Forge Library Backup which contains ALL the filters that can be found online, and so you will not need to download nothing and it is really cheap for the thousands of filters you get.

See this thread here ---> http://filterforge.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=8589

You can buy it here ---> http://goo.gl/ixe92

And then also copy the filters to your own filter forge library as shown here
