Help: Download problems

Steve1982

Hi I am having a bit of a problem with my PC, anytime I start to download something using Save Target as method it keeps freezing mid download. The PC that I am using receives its internet wirelessly from my main machine which incidentally has the same problem. I have also noticed that whenever I watch any streamed videos they always seem to freeze up (not sure if this is related???). Any ideas that any one has to what may be causing this/advice to resolve it would be appreciated. I am running Windows XP on this machine and Vista on the other and both machines have AVG, ZoneAlarm and Spybot S and D loaded on which are reporting no problems.

Thanks in advance!

if your router has a firewall and you are using ZA too, then you may have conflicts.
ditch the ZA, you dont really need it now.

Try a downloads manager, if you drop a connection when downloading the manager will restart downloading when re-connected, SEE-

Thanks for the tips guys, but it still doesnt work even with the download manager and I have always used Zonealarm and not changed any other setting so cannot see why that should conflict with anything

Sounds like its possibly a router problem (Reset it perhaps?)
Or indeed a general internet problem (Meaning possible cable problems etc)
