Downloads don't finish?

[Guest Kenny]

Using XP Pro/SP2/IE6.

Seems to happen more with larger downloads.

Just today tried to download trial version of Acronis True Image 11 from

Acronis site.

Speed about 420Kbps, goes to 1% remaining and shows 136MB of 136MB

downloaded but it just sits there and doesn't finish, showing as still

downloading.

Have then tried it on a laptop using XP MCE on the same modem/router and the

same thing happens.

It happened a while ago downloading Nero which is also fairly large, doesn't

seem to happen with small downloads.

Would installing Firefox or Opera make any difference here?

Any help appreciated.

Tried Firefox, it couldn't even find Google, then Opera and the file

downloaded no problem.

Looks like it's Opera from now on.
