    Well, we recommend firefox for a large number of reasons. One of them is that firefox is less susceptible to adware/spyware and other types of malware. However, speaking only in context of emuparadise, we use FTP transfers for a large number of our downloads and our FTP only allows one login per IP address. Thus, if a person tries to login (download a file..) again while he's already logged in (downloading..), it'll result in an error.
    Now, the problem with some versions of IE is that it makes two logins into an FTP. One is for detecting whether the FTP is working and the other is for actually getting the file. Obviously the first login doesn't expire before the second one kicks in so it results in a 404 Page Not Found, error. This is why we recommend people use Firefox with Emuparadise, so that they can avoid such errors.
    This isn't symptomatic to all versions of IE. The problem only comes up with some versions.
