Well bill, the answer depends on what type of email client you are using..are you downloading through say, google email, yahoo mail, msn mail, outlook or outlook express? ..In any case, a download stopping before completion is usually a result of it timing out. The most obvious solution might be the best one. If it's an issue on one email service, try using another specifically for those types of attachments. In the end, it'll solve your issue and you'll live longer due to dealing w/ less frustration ;) trust me on that.

Some e-mail clients may have anti-viruses to scan the attachments and may block you from downloading because there was something detected. Or your anti-virus (or better said internet security program) if you have one may detect something and block the download.
