'Download failed'

[Grand Concourse 2,690]

For the mobile version or in my case an iPad using google chrome, whenever I swipe the screen down to get to the newest posts, on some pages I get this error message and have to refresh and then wait till the page is fully loaded till I can scroll down. It's not a serious issue, but it is getting very annoying. Imo

I don't know what else to do.  I think this problem is beyond my reach.  Open the site in safari.

I'm going to try this with my wife's iPad tonight. Stay tuned.

Last night I downloaded the newest iOS, I think it might've been that. So far I haven't had as many issues as I did before. So I guess it was just an iPad issue.

Yeah, for some reason, when I downloaded 6.1, the Wifi issue on my iPhone 5 as well as some code glitches like this Chrome "Download failed" glitch" fixed itself. Meanwhile, in the description of the iOS update, there was nothing regarding either being fixed. It came as a huge surprise, even though the WiFi issue should have been fixed a while ago. Anyway, goes to show it wasn't on the forums end.

I could not replicate this problem at all.

It seems to be an issue when people have YouTube vids embedded in their posts. When I scroll down too soon, I get hit with this error message. If I wait for the m logo in the tab to fully show (indicates the page is ready) then I have no problems. My iPad is a 3rd gen model.

I can confirm this problem with Chrome on my iPhone 5 that its only when there are YouTube videos in a person's post that Chrome comes up with an error that it can't download the page. Furthermore, when the page finally loads, the YouTube video isn't there.
