In a test where I simultaneously downloaded the same file via HTTP (chrome) and FTP (windows explorer), both downloads failed at the same instant, though explorer displayed 'Connection timed out' several minutes before chrome finally showed the download as interrupted. Small files can get through for this reason, though they can fail as well. The amount downloaded is completely random, and seems to be more time-based than anything (if I start a download immediately after the last one fails, it tends to get further than the last one). zip file located on a server I control, but the problem seems to occur on any site.

The file I am using to test this is a very large. Failure occurs with all browsers, but in chrome this is the process it takes: 1) Download begins normally, 2) At some point between (observed) 7MBs and 229MBs the download stops progressing (at this point, if watching chrome's task manager, you can see the network activity for the downloading tab drop to 0kps), 3) for some time the download sits there still attempting to complete, but will eventually display '123,049,871/0 B, Interrupted' (where the number is whatever it actually got to). Also, though I doubt it matters, a second wireless router is active behind this router providing a second network that some computers in the area use without issues.ĭetails: All downloads initiated on this specific computer eventually fail, this includes streaming from youtube, specialized downloads (itunes), downloads from websites, FTP downloads, etc.

The only thing odd about the connection between the router and computer is that it is configured to allow RDP through, so it is assigned a static IP by the router and port forwarding is enabled for port 3389.

The computer is plugged in directly to the modem, other computers are using the wireless successfully. The router is a Motorola Netopia 3347-02 (DSL Modem/Wireless Router combined). Network: This problem is occurring on a single computer on a network with multiple computers. AVG Internet Security 2012 (enabled & disabled, with firewall enabled and disabled - no effect for either). 8GB RAM, Intel i5-2400 CPU, +300GB free on the hard drive.
