When downloading through IE6 more than the smallest of files, the machine stops downloading with no error message, it simply continues to act as if it were. It is as if it can no longer create a temp download file. Reloading windows and ie are no help. Thanks

I know you probably already checked your hard drive space and your IE settings, so I am not even going to bother... Scandiskd and defrag?

Have you tried using Netscape, or another browser to download? It could be a bandwith issue if you are usinga good old 56k modem (like me).

Do a good scan disk and clean out your entrie TEMP folder (there should never ever be anyhting in there worth keeping for more than 1h). Try again. If you do have another browser, give it a try.

If you can download from another browser, but still can not from IE6, then try to put your IE settings back to their defaults and try again. Because Billy decided to make IE and Windows so intergrated, very hard to find out where the problem could be, and still can not uninstall IE without a Windows headache.
