Download problem

[demigod]

Hi recently i'm facing problem in download. i have a airtel 256Kbps-unlimted connection,when ever i download a file normally through browser( any browser firefox/ie ) it stops downloading after few percentage.it's applicable to every thing like updating virus def,streaming videos and whatever i download through browser.But downloads are fine through download accelerators and p2p clients.i really not able to download any thing through browser help me !.this happens when downloading a small file as well as large file :wall:.i'm using windows xp prof service pack 2 integratedbadly need help Note:but download are fine in linux

The connection seems fine. Probably some file corruption and/or malware is to blame here. Try this:

Run each of these two commands(Start>Run) separately and reboot.

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

netsh winsock reset catalog

Also, won't exactly hurt to run a virus/spyware scan and updating windows (might inadvertently fix any corruption) if the above steps don't help. Heck, even System Restore might prove useful here if this problem has surfaced only recently and save you a format/re-install.

But bad luck still having problem :redface:,any other suggestions please !

@demigod, i also find downloads via browser unreliable. i am on bsnl, i use Free Download Manager - absolutely free download accelerator and manager and flashgot addon for firefox so i send all download links to the downloader which supports resume in case connection breaks... hope that helps

@vishalraoi already have download accelerator and flashgot in firefox.It works fine when i download through download accelerator.but my problem is that,i'm not able to do updates,streaming video.i tried to update mcafee av yesterday more than 20 times,it failed at last it updated today. i guess you understand my problem

oh ok. while you are trying to download via browser do you have other programs like torrents etc also running/downloading in background... i dont have too many problems streaming videos from youtube, or updating browser etc...do your modem/router/tcpip have some QoS settings maybe?

No i don't run other download in background while downloading through browser.i checked with netlimter to monitor other application activites,same thing happens it download for sometime and simply stops :wall:i don't understand this " do your modem/router/tcpip have some QoS settings maybe? "

1) Just go to
C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Local Settings
(note: Local Settings could be a hidden file which you need to be able to view first)
Then uncheck read-only under property for
"Temporary Internet Files" and "Temp", thus changing all the subfolders and files properties.
2) Then go to Tools->Internet Options->temporary internet files -> settings
to set a reasonable amount - say 300MB of space for temporary internet files folder.
This should work well.
Hope this helps.

Also recommended to delete index.dat and Windows Defender if installed. ( see details)

@essbebe Thanks for the search
i followed the procedure and i deleted all index.dat but still i'm facing the problem.
My problem is very similar to user:stephanlaw's problem cannot download anything

1.If you have the XP CD try a repair option. or run sfc /scannow
2. You can download a fresh version of IE7 from Microsoft.
Internet Explorer 7: downloads
3.and also FireFox.( which updates existing version ).
4. Now you had problem UPD your AV Mcfee program. The UPD is not automatic ? do you need the browser IE or FF or a download program ?
5. My AVG, updates daily, no sooner I switch on the computer and the BB modem is activated. if there is any UPD due .
