internet downloading problem

[sidewalk]

hello.

if i download file throuth firefox or safari and its about 80mB and more i got an error that "file can't be save because can't be read" ©firefox after 70mb completed.

speed download manager has the same problem. but if server has resume function i can resume and complete. no problems with torrents.

this problem drive me nuts!! everything else working rock solid (even restart, shutdown and sleep)

 

 

i got 965 chipset mobo with core2duo

vanilla 9.2.2 (kalyway 10.5.1 + kalyway combo +vanilla9.2.2)

MBR partition

there are several reasons for download to stop unexpectedly:

1. line is to slow or many collisions/ber (errors on the line).

2. the remote site disconnected you (did you try other sites how many test you made?)

3. your downloading application had no response from the site and timed-out

4. if you are using wifi test for reception problems

5. something wrong with the network setup of your computer (routing, dns, etc)

 

in order to pinpoint your problem you need to test each of these possibilities.

1. i would start with downloading different sizes of files and different locations on the net, if the problem remains then it is the site fault (it happens).

2. next i would check from other OS i use on the same comuter (as long as you are using the same nic and isp and definitions) if the problem solved then it means something is wrong with the the OS (if this is the case write back and i will continue suggestions)

3. next i would use other computers in the house or change from wifi to cable (maybe problem in the wifi router) (if the problem solved then check wifi nic/router or computer nic)

4. lastly check your ISP connectivity, do speed test online using these links (do a couple of them so you have good statistics), also use the command tracert from cmd windows or traceroute from terminal from mac

you can also check the site you are connecting to speed:

you can use these pages in order to trouble shoot your network setup (a newbie checklist);
