large downloads dont finish

[charlie1]

I've been trying to download software which is 42mb in size, but stops downloading and disconnects 2/3 of the way through. can anybody please tell me why this is. all and any advice would be more than appreciated.

try one of the many download managers so that partial downloads can be restarted.....some like Go!zilla, or Download Accelerator, I like Getright ....
just go to ZDnet and do a search........
goodluck

I'd advise against GoZilla. It's a portal to spammers since its ad based.
GetRight gave me lots of problems with links that didn't work and files that couldn't be downloaded.

I'm using Download Express right now and love it: no ads, no spam, no problems, easy to set up and fast to download. You can find it at http://www.metaproducts.com/
