Its starting to get annoying (This is happening outside of CFC). Here is my problem. Whenever I download a large file from a site like www.jk2files.com that is above 1.00 Mb, 25%-50% into the download, the download stops and it leaves me with a corruped *.zip file (Windows tells me that when I try to open it). Also, the zip file itself usualy reads 350-899kb insted of the normal 2.08 Mbs.

Are there any sollutions to this?

Maybe using a download manager(like getright or other) you can solve that problem. I dont like download managers, but when they are extremelly necessary I use them.

Ive tried a Download Manager such as the "Internet Download Accelerator" and I still see the same "Download cut-off".

I tried to download one file (but not until the end because I pay more for extra foreign downloads....) and I saw its by FTP, maybe thatīs the problem. I dont know how to solve it tough.

I just downloaded a 4.5MB file, it took me about 15 seconds and I had no problem. What kind of connection do you have to the internet, and what web browser do you use on what OS? What kind of performance do you usually have for file downloads? What happens if you go to another site to download a file, same thing? You need to isolate the source of the problem before looking for a solution.
