    I've just started experiencing a problem with downloads lately. This has been covered in other posts but no answer.

    The problem started yesterday with my downloads. I try to download something from www.nationalcountdownshow.com (One of their radio shows) and the download stopped at approximately 10meg of the 136meg file. Thought it was their site so I went to another site (4shared.com to download a large file there) and the same thing happened this time it stopped at 20meg of 150 meg file. Thought then that it was my browser. Tried IE, FIREFOX and Chrome at both sites with no avail. Tried a download manager (DownThemAll!) and the problem persists.

    Thought then that maybe a virus got in. Cleaned the drive first with CCLeaner then did a scan with SUPERAnitspyware and Malwarebyts Anit-Malware. Still no resolve.

    Tried rebooting the computer and still same problem persists. Small files work fine but large files just stop and do nothing.

    I'm currently using Windows XP with all latest updates. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Jason, I sounds like I have the same problem as you, and I've done what you've done re cleaning the PC, etc., etc. Am at a loss. Surely, surely someone has a solution for us.
