OK my adsl modem is up and running BUT whenever I am downloading for more than 3 or 4 minutes the computer freezes up. Its fine when I'm surfing the net (like now) and when I'm offline but as soon as I d/l its nightmare time!

I'ts happened using the built in windows downloader, getright, kazaa and e-donkey and I'm all out of ideas.

I've got a USB Adsl modem made by ETech with a conexant chipset and cant find any updated drivers to see if this is the problem.

Please Please help me out here, one of the main reason I got adsl was to help with d/l and I cant do it without causing the pc to freeze!

Specs are:
