Large Files Won't Download

Everything was working fine yesterday! Now my ISP says that the equipment they have me wired too is congested so they will rewire Monday. But is that false hope? What's weird is that it always stops at 65.3 MB when I try the 100 MB test file and 38.2 MB when I try the 200 MB test file. Tried several other too and same whole sizes always stop at the same partial sizes.

Well, just discovered that all works fine in safe mode with networking. Now what? :-(

(Going to sleep. Exhausted. Will check this thread in the morning. Hey, its a start...)

That may mean wrong network driver installed...or missing /bad chipset driver.

Check Control Panel/Device Manager for any Yellow ??'s.

If none then run a TCP/IP fix...

What protection softwares, firewall is installed and running?

No errors in device manager. Tried a TCP/IP fix but still same issue. As for protection, the only thing I've got is AVG and I installed that yesterday AFTER all of this began happening to check for viruses. Again, nothing found.

One thing of note, I performed a "netsh winsock reset" two days ago in an effort to fix a com surrogate error connected to a DIVX update. Could that have caused any of this? If so, how do I undo that?

This is why we love details on here...

Winsock Fix...

Darn, still a no go. :-(

Woke up and all of the sudden it is working without any problems. Wow. I wish I had an explanation in case it happens again to me or someone else but I'll take the gift... thanks for your help!
