If you still encounter problems in downloading or running the installers, follow the suggestions pasted below;

 

1.  Try another web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc)

 

2.  Clear the cache of your browser, delete temp files, browsing and download history, or simply reset to default

 

3.  Temporarily disable anti-virus and/or firewall.  Just don't browse any other webpage or open any application that uses internet while they are turned off.  Immediately reactivate your anti-virus and/or firewall after downloading or installation.

Why don't skype just put a link or big Buttom in the home page to download the application. Instead I had to look for 10 minutes where to download the application reading this support community ...

Re: Alternative Download Links

I got an email inviting me to download a new version of Skype. Haven't seen the URL linked in the email anywhere else on the web. It's been awhile since I've seen a phishing attempt that made it through my junk filter, so it took me a second to realize how much I really didn't like this link. I won't post it in its entirety, but I thought I should pass this along somewhere. Hope this isn't the wrong place...

It directs to a site that looks reasonable...but doesn't say Skype anywhere. So all of a sudden then it doesn't actually look reasonable at all. No https...yet it says "secure" in the URL. Big red flag.

Re: Alternative Download Links

Thank You for the link..

 

I downloaded the full version and it says that I'm using v5.5.0.115 and when I click on "check for updates" it says tha there is an update available, I click download, and the process stops on "Initializing", it just won't start downloading the update..Do you have any ideas?

 

Thank You very much.

 

Regards,
