    I left my laptop to download about 4GB of files whilst I went to work. When I returned the files were just sitting there on the desktop like they should have been, however when playing a couple of the videos I noticed they all stopped at the 10 minute mark (or thereabouts). Through a process of elimination I have established that IE decided to stop downloading at a certain point and never thought to resume or notify. I now have to go and manually take a copy out of the archive Hard drive, then go down to the data storage facility and pick up the private key to unlock the archives. I am going to stop trusting MS products altogether, who knew downloading a file was too hard for IE.

                  Basically it went like this: - Bloody ITunes, can't play a stupid ".m4v" file. - Hey I have quick time, maybe now it will work - It messes up on Quick Time too, perhaps an encoding problem? - All the videos seem to have it, and the ones I watched yesterday (at work) worked.... - So the Problem probably is not Itunes or Quick Time - // We switch to process of conclusivness - The files seem to be smaller then they are supposed to be - If I run the EXE's they fail misarably - GOD DAM IE7 - //This is followed by a series of curses and general bad voodoo towards Microsoft

                        My system has an active monitoring program so if that was the case i would have been notified (unless ofcourse the program doesn't work). And even if this is the case do you not thnk that notification is due when a download terminates unexpectedly.

                          I don't like IE either, but when your connection suddenly has a short timeout or the transfer rate drops to a minimum, then also Firefox has huge problems downloading this file correctly or resuming the download at a later time. I prefer FlashGet for such tasks. regards

                            After some hours of working, I could see that firefox domnating my physical and virtual memory (more than 1 GB). Trust me... I only opened 2-3 tabs at that time. the memory usage showing was pretty low (??) something 100+ mB or something. but my virtual memory get freed up after ***Killing*** firefox. P.S: I've been using it from its beta version... so I should blame it at this moment :(

                              Does your power scheme shut down the hard drive after a while - say 10 minutes?

                                Upgrade to Vista! It's been in development for 5 years I tell ya. It has a download manager built right into the new IE. *pinch* Oh, sorry I was dreaming of a digital utopia. It's the one thing millions and millions of people do on a daily basis and yet they still don't include with IE. Everyone at MS is probably to busy doing google searches.

                                  It may not be IE7. Had this happen just a few weeks ago. I downloaded FireFox and Opera at home and brought them in and they had the same problem. It seems to have cleared up now. I never did pin down what it was, though I suspect it was our firewall acting up.
