Can't download ISO files

hah2110 · 09-25-2006, 06:36 PM

I have an IBM thinkpad Z61m. It is on Windows XP Pro. I have tried download America's Army and Windows Vista. Both download instantly (when should be over 2gb) and are anywhere from 0 bytes - 3 kb. I then can't do anything with them. But I go right next door to a friends computer and the same links download just fine. This occurs in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Any advice?

Have you tryed a google??

Id suggest backing up your files and doing a restore, or either windows recovery / reformat

are these bit torrent files? the torrent will be small in size and then you must start the file in the client (ie, azerus, bittorrent, utrorrent, etc) and then the download will commence.

i thought that but they are just ISOs and obviously microsoft would not use bit torrent. My friends computer doesnt have any torrent files or software either

What happens when you try to download anything else? Can you download any other programs?

provide a link to where you are trying to download please and maybe that may clear a way if one of us can see it

If it stops after 2GB you have a bandwidth deprivation!
