Downloading problem/XP

Lately I have been running into a problem downloading. I go to a site, I hit download and it looks like the file is going to download but it stops with a message that it could not connect to the file or something similar.

I restored my internet defaults in IE and shut down ZoneAlarm to see if the problem was in the security I have set up.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

maybe your connection is crap? happens to me all the time. but when I dl from a local mirror hosted by my ISP, it\'s all dandy.

Ace, have you tried with a download manager? Go and donwload freshDownload, the best manager available and the easiest to use.

Thanks!

I\'ll try the download manager. I thought maybe my DSL or router might be the problem. I downloaded Mozilla and now I can download anything I want. In IE it will only allow me to download zipped files.
