Download problems

[lopdog]

I'm having problems downloading files using Firefox 3.1 and IE 7. Most files above 40-50 MB suddenly stops before they finish, but the browser tells me the files were successfully downloaded (100%). Look at these screenshots:





Sometimes I can get the file if I try again, but in this particular case (from Divx.com) I tried several times, and every time I got less than 10 MB of the 200+ MB file.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

PS: Yes, I have a slow Internet connection..

Have you always had the slow connection and slow download speeds?
Are you 100% certain you have not been infected with Virus or Malware?
The reason I ask is, your JPG shows connected to a VUZE site.
Torrents (and other P2P filesharing) pose an extreme vulnerability for your computer.

Just to be safe, even if your slow speeds are not due to Virii or Malware,

My internet connection is 128/64 kbps, everything normal. I think I'm clean, recently reinstalled Vista Ultimate. But I'll check that anyway.

The reason I ask is, your JPG shows connected to a VUZE site.

Sorry, didn't understand this. What is a VUZE site?

Yes do a scan with all the programs in UPDATED 8-step Viruses/Spyware/Malware Preliminary Removal Instructions (as stated by B00kWyrm)

But also delete the presently broken downloads (they must be removed)
And run CCleaner (it's in the guide)
Actually I'd suggest an IE Reset as well


Download and run
Then restart Internet Explorer

Edit:

"Vuze" is P2P application

I'm going to do a clean install of Windows 7 RC1 in a few days, hope that solves the problem. But I'll do that 8-step just in case. The browser reset didn't change anything.
Also, that VUZE reference in the jpg is just a link from the DivX.com download page, the movies I'm trying to download are all legal trailers directly from http://www.divx.com/es/downloads/divx-7-showcase. I only use uTorrent to get the RC, I don't want the 3 GB download to fail after a week...

BTW, very interesting reading about P2P applications, something to think about...

Here are my log files, I hope it's ok to post them here. Thanks for reading them

Well because you had a "keygen.exe" Trojan removed:
1. You may not get further support (that's just the way it is)
2. You had Malware in your log. You are requested to go through this guide fully:
UPDATED 8-step Viruses/Spyware/Malware Preliminary Removal Instructions
And post a New Thread on the Virus & Malware removal forum

This is highly likely due to your browsing habits and P2P software

OK, point taken and lesson learned.

I'll go through the 8 steps again and post the logs in the Virus & Malware removal forum.

Thanks
