When I try to download something on the computer, the
download will stop in the middle of it and just remain on
whatever time it was on (ie. 4 min and 26 seconds or just
another time). Is there any way to correct this problem? I
have updated the internet version to v. 6 and my only
other thought is that it might have been the fast internet
connection i have (broadband) beecause my other computers
have no problems when I use Netzero, it just take 10 times
as long. Thnx for any help-

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.
 
How would I change the RWin setting?
