I've been having problems downloading from commercial websites. When I click
run, the download gets from anywhere between 0% and, say, 58%, or anything in
between and then just stalls. I repeat, and the same thing happens. On rare
occasions the download goes quickly and completely, sometimes after many,
many attempts, and sometimes it just never downloads.

I always allow full firewall access to the site from which I'm downloading.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Alex

Don't select "run". Download it and then run it.

Thanks Bob, but that's the first thing I tried, and the same thing happens.
I try to download to my desktop, then it stalls in the same manner.

Have you tried clearing your temporary internet files folder? Items you
D/L go there first before being copied to the intended destination.
