Sometimes when I download a .wmv file from the internet
it stops at a point like 4% or 18%, it just stops
downloading, the bar stops moving, the number of kb
downloaded isn't going up anymore etc., is there a way I
can fix this?
 
You may need to make room in your Temporary Internet Files (folders)



This is from an other post, if relevant check it out.

Subject: Re: Download size limitation?

When I try to download certain Microsoft XP updates, such as .NET
framework, which are large files, the download stops at 4 MB each time.
I don't know if this is a problem with IE, Microsoft's server, or my ISP
(on a DSL). Is it a temp directory limitation? Is there something I should
tweak in the registry? I have a 40 GB hard drive which is about 1/3 full, so
that isn't the problem..

Does anyone have an explanation for this?

Then on another group someone said to decrease the value for the receive
window (RWin) setting (on a DSL tweaker) to half of what it was, and that
worked immediately. Something about with a too high RWin setting the server
thinks you are disconnected and stops sending the file. Anyway, it worked.
