Browser crashes when downloading

[Punk]

Hello all!!

I've been having a problem with my browser lately: it always crashes when I donwload big files (over 200MB). I don't know if it as anything to do with the problem but I thought it was good that I point that out...

I've tried Firefox, Chrome and Opera. They all crash after a few minutes of downloading...

Thanks for any help

have you tried cleaning caches or using ccleaner to delete all the temp files?
usually helps me in this situation

Try CCleaner first and if that does not work why dont you uninstall it and install it again.

Do you have enough space on the drive that you're trying to download it on?

Didn't we just have a thread about this about a month ago? Can't remember what the user did to resolve the issue. As said try deleting temp files, reset router/modem. Meanwhile i'm gonna do some searching on the forum for it.

I've done all of you suggestions already

It does this on four browsers so it must be something else than the browser...

Anyone?

Anyone?

You never answered, how much free space do you have on the drive you're trying to save to?

916GB, I think that's enough

That's it? I think you need more!

Maybe there's a problem with the file or download location itself, what are you trying to download?

It's a direct download AVI (I don't want to give anymore etails about it because it's in the grey area ). It's on Megaupload.

that sounds like a server error does it happen on other files you try to download that are of a simalar size? if no then it is probably the server (megaupload) thats causing the problem not the internet browser.

It happens on all "big" files, usually over 200MB

If it only happens on megaupload then it's probably their servers otherwise...i don't know.

I've downloaded other files on Megaupload, I'm pretty sure it's something to do in the process of saving the file on my computer, I don' think it's their server.

Thanks for trying

Have you tried a scan with Malwarebytes?

Well I don't know what the problem was but I solved it by doing a System repair...
