Re: Download Stopping

What type if mail account is this? Is it perhaps a Hotmail or MSN
account?

What type of attachment is it?

Are these particularly large attachments?

You mention sending to a different e-mail account. Are you the original
sender of the attachments? Or are you trying to forward the message via
a web mail account? If so, is the problem sending or after the message
arrives at the other account?

If your anti-virus is set to scan e-mail as it downloads, that might the
issue.

I have a strange problem in that some file downloads (these are
attachments
within an email) are stopping or freezing, typically at the same point
(eg
52%) every time I try. I get the same problem on both of my computers
at
home, one of which runs XP and the other Vista. I received the
original email
in Windows Live Mail, but have tried sending it to a different email
account
(not Microsoft) and still get the same problem. I have tried accessing
email
using IE7 and Opera and get the same problem. I have even tried using
a
download manager but still to no avail.

I've had a good look at my wireless router (linksys WRT54GS) config
but
can't see anything in that which I think could be causing the problem,
so I
am truly stumped.

Can anyone please help me?!!! This is driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance,

Michael
