    Hello

    Every time I try downloading anything from Technet it downloads for a few hours, and then times out, and I need to start it over.

    Is there a way of downloading that will alow me to continue of it times out, and not require me to start over?

    Thank you

    You can check out download.com for a download manager, or maybe try google chrome?

    Try to provide an example of a link that takes a long time to download, and provide your connection type, DSL, dial-up, and if you are using a router, wlan etc.

    I will maybe try chrome.
    I have tried in IE, Safari, and Firefox (with DTA).

    Tried at work (don't know the connection), and Home (CDMA I think).
    Niether connection is that great, I will admit and understand that, the problem is that it seems to need to start over every time it times out, and is unable to continue downloading when it has a connection issue.

    Maybe this is purposeful, so that people aren't able to have multiple threads/chunks of one file downloading at a time, and killing the servers.

    Lzim, thank you very much for your reply, it is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jonathan,

    It's an odd issue. Could you please try to download them in Safe Mode to test if the issue is a software confliction issue?

    If the issue disappear, you can try to do a clean boot to test the issue.

    For your reference:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Hope it helps.

    Hello Robinson Zhang

    I can try safemode, but I don't think the problem is a software one.
    I do think the issue is with the network, I was just asking if there was a way to continue a download and not need to start it over.

    I will still try the safemode thing, woth a shot.

    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Jonathan,

    If the issue is a software conflict issue, we can resolve it without installing a download manager XD

    If the issue is a networking issue, you can choose a download manager as a workaround. Such as Net Transport,FlashGet.

    Hope it helps.

    Okay... Followup.

    Today I tried again.

    Logged in, went to my download, clicked it...
    This time Microsoft File Transfer Manager came up.

    This seems to be working, it has gotten to 79%, and says about two hours left.

    I will post if this is a success...

    Thank you all.

    Why would IE be required?
