Odd Download Problem

    Ok, whenever I try to download certain files, the download will just suddenly stop, usually before it reaches 1mb in size. The thing is, if i try to re-download the same file, it will stop in exactly the same place. Now this will only happen with specific files, generally, and will continue to happen no matter what download manager I try use.

    Another problem i encounter is that i cannot download anything from google, that includes gmail attachments, google sketchup, basically anything you can download from a google page. The download just wont load, the loading bar at the bottom of IE will just stop.

    Im using: Windows XP SP2, IE7 (the problem also happened on IE6), and have a D-Link G624 Wireless Router(which doesn't appear to drop the connection, and works perfectly with my dads laptop, and the other PC)

    Just out of curiosity, can you go to www.skype.com & see if you can download the latest version of Skype?

    Also, have you tried deleting all your temporary Internet files & cookies under tools -> Internet options in IE7 (Browsing History section)

    Okay this may be a stop gap fix. But download Getright And when downloading, click options, and segments. And select as many as you can.

    If that fails, backup all data and reinstall windows. It will be the simplest solution. My oppinion is, why spend days trouble shooting, when in 1 hours time you can have windows just as it was before, but this time with no headaches.

    Yea, you're probably right, download programs will download nearly all the segments but will stop at 99%. I'll do that tonight, thanks.
