    Hey guys, I am having a problem downloading ANY file onto my computer.
    Every time I download a file from the internet using both Firefox OR Internet Explorer, it stops at 99.9% and it never moves up from there.

    This has happened multiple times with over 20 files for the past 2 days. No idea what it can be. Any help/advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks for your time.

    Are you behind a router? All ports correctly forwarded? Try using a download manager. Do a virus/adaware scan. Check windows firewall.

    Actually yes, I am behind a router at the moment. Just yesterday I know some settings were changed as well, that might be it. To my knowledge though, the only change that was made was we added a password to it.
    It's not a virus though, I am pretty sure of that.
    I'll try a download manager, not sure that will really do anything.

    Yes, because the files I am downloading are files that are in a ".zip" format. So when I download with Firefox for example, I cannot access the files because it says that the archive is damaged. (This is what it is suppose to say when it is not completely finished downloading.)
