Problem uploading to Nexus with IE11

[DanielCoffey]

I am trying to track down the source of a problem I am having recently to do with uploading mod files to the Nexus.

 

It only occurs on my main PC running Win8.1, IE11 and Kaspersky Pure. It has only started being an issue in the past few weeks. I have been able to upload mod files on this machine so I assume some setting has been changed which is now preventing me uploading. It is not an issue on my Mac Mini running Safari.

 

I fill in all the Add File information and hit the upload button. The screen freezes for about 30s then times  out with a "This Page is Unavailable" Windows message. Watching the Network traffic shows that no attempt has been made to start the upload. The issue is consistent and happens every time.

 

I would like to work out what is happening so that I can carry on using my main machine rather than having to transfer the files to my Mac, preferably without changing browser.

 

Is it IE11? Is it Java/Flash? Is it Kaspersky?

I'm going to say it's IE 11. Try Firefox out. I doubt it's Kaspersky, though I know nothing about how Pure is I do know the Internet Security Suite wouldn't be causing an issue like that without telling you it did something.

I would prefer to stick with IE for now but I wondered... has some security/java/flash setting changed in the past few months that could cause this behaviour? It used to work fine.

 

If it helps pin it down, I can fill in the Upload form fine but as soon as I click the button, the timeout begins ticking and the file is not submitted.

All I can say is try another browser. You'd know better than I if your machine has done any updates or whatnot than I. I've never uploaded anything to the Nexus.
