Guest hsyq8xg@gmail.com Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 I am using ADSL, 2Mbit / s connection. Lately am having much difficulties in downloading big files. Downloading stops at around the point of 50 MByte or so. Just stay there, no error message, just stay there. Nothing. At first I thought it was IE that went nuts. So I tried downloading with FireFox. Same things happen. Then I tried Opera. Same thing ! If I use download manager like WellGet, the file can be downloaded, no problem. But if I try downloading large files with browsers, it just stay there, around 50 MBytes, it didn't say "error" or something, the download line still open, but even if I left it overnight, it still stays there. Dunno what the heck is wrong. Last time it was okay. Even when I downloaded ISO images (over 700MB sizes) it was okay. Now ... every browser gives me the "stop and wait, wait, wait" thing. Is there something to do with registry or TCPIP setting? I haven't do anything about those two, but can't guarantee if there's any trogan/ virus that has altered the settings. How to check? So far, if I use download manager, it still downloads. But there are times download managers can't be use, such as if I need to download files from RapidShare or other file serving sites, then the download just sits there, waiting, waiting, waiting ... Oh, I've tried rebooting. I've even try clearing browser cookies/ cache, everything. Just that the problem still persists ! Can you help, please? Thank you !

I sometimes have this problem with certain sites. FWIW, I use Opera. To get the download going again, I go to Tools > Transfers, r-click the stalled transfer, and then select Stop Transfer followed by Resume Transfer. I don't know why, but this usually gets the download going again. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

The file download may start like 100KB/s, and 5 minutes later it goes down to 30-50KB/s, and 5 more minutes later it goes down to 6 or 8KB/s and then it crawls, crawls, crawls, until it just stops. Funny thing is that there's no error anywhere !! I have checked my PC, no trojan, no virus, nothing. Check my connection too, don't seems to be any trouble. Just dunno what the heck happens in between the originating server and my PC. Download managers are another thing, especially those that split up the huge file download into many smaller parts. Because the download manager continuously sending out "I need this, I need that" message to the originating server, the transfer usually is quite high. But as the original poster has said, there are times we can't use download managers, the file-sharing places, for example, download managers just won't work.

That should have no bearing on it.
