Re: downloading problems

Do NOT 'Run the download from it's present location', instead, download
and save whatever is being downloaded. Then install the download with
the browser and any other programs closed.
A misconfigured firewall or interference from the installed
antivirus/security software *may* be the culprit.

If you're using IE7, Microsoft has finally fixed the "stalled
