what browser are you using?

have you checked your system for viri and spyware?

is your signal strong?

are you authorized to download stuff onto that particular system - do you have admin rights?

internet explorer 7 no virus and the link is very strong

if I'm not mistaken, IE7 is beta. go back to IE6 or try another browser like mozilla, or firefox, or another...

same thing this time it said the filename could not be read

the file downloads to a certain percentage and then freezes and stops

"file could not be saved because the source file could not be read"
