It might be because the site has a timeout, that has timed out during the stall. But it could be just plain broken. > OTOH, I find The Warning, Inside the Meltdown and Breaking the Bank to > be top of the top class documentaries and I'd like to contribute a few > dollars.

Yes, but with caution. There are some services that I'd be fairly confident in using, but I'd be extremely hesitant about giving credit card details to just any site. I'd look for a third party to go in the middle. e.g. Put money into PayPal (if you trust them, and they can accept PayPal), then use PayPal to pay the other site. Or do a direct bank transfer, where all the other person gets is money sent to them under your control. They've no way to raid more off you. Some credit card companies offer one-time features, where you have a single use credit feature, a bit like gift cards in shops. You put money into the single-use credit, the right amount, then use that with the purchase. Best advice: Don't ask *us* about this, contact your bank, or credit card supplier, and see what they advise and can offer you. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
