Bill F Put Moowrap.net in your a/v program as an allowed website, back and forth data over a period of time can be inidicative of hackers so they are blocking it. It happens periodically as the a/v programs crack down on 'hacker like' stuff. I have added Moowrap.net to my A/V exceptions I have removed Moowrap and reloaded and reinstalled Moowrap and I am still having download issues.
