The connection seems fine. Probably some file corruption and/or malware is to blame here. Try this:
Run each of these two commands(Start>Run) separately and reboot.
Also, won't exactly hurt to run a virus/spyware scan and updating windows (might inadvertently fix any corruption) if the above steps don't help. Heck, even System Restore might prove useful here if this problem has surfaced only recently and save you a format/re-install.
Run each of these two commands(Start>Run) separately and reboot.
Code:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
Code:
netsh winsock reset catalogBut bad luck still having problem :redface:,any other suggestions please !
Thanks

1) Just go to
C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Local Settings
(note: Local Settings could be a hidden file which you need to be able to view first)
Then uncheck read-only under property for
"Temporary Internet Files" and "Temp", thus changing all the subfolders and files properties.
2) Then go to Tools->Internet Options->temporary internet files -> settings
to set a reasonable amount - say 300MB of space for temporary internet files folder.
This should work well.
Hope this helps.

Also recommended to delete index.dat and Windows Defender if installed. ( see details)

1.If you have the XP CD try a repair option. or run sfc /scannow
2. You can download a fresh version of IE7 from Microsoft.
Internet Explorer 7: downloads
3.and also FireFox.( which updates existing version ).
4. Now you had problem UPD your AV Mcfee program. The UPD is not automatic ? do you need the browser IE or FF or a download program ?
5. My AVG, updates daily, no sooner I switch on the computer and the BB modem is activated. if there is any UPD due .

A.TCP/IP settings advanced Check TCP/Ipfiltering settings
B. Modem settings : ( A & B & C as suggested by Vishalrao)
C.( about router /modem internal settings later if needed. )
1. Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel and open
Modems.
2. Click Properties and click the Connection tab.
3. Click Port Settings and bring the Receive Buffer
slider down a notch.
4. Hit OK and try your download again.
5. Once your file has been successfully received,
you can go back in and increase the buffer settings
back to where they were.
D:
The temporary internet file cache is too small to
contain the file as it downloads.
* Enlarge the temporary internet file cache: In
Internet Explorer go to Tools > Internet Options >
General tab > Temporary Internet Files > Settings,
and increase the Amount Of Disk Space To Use
setting to 150 MB. (The default is 50 MB.)
( probably too much Temp IE files/ History etc : Clear every day )

Problem : Download files in IE and FF browser not proper. stops midway. ( OK with LINUX OS)
Able to download nicely with download managers.
Took 20 attempts to update Macfee AV.
Query now : what IE settings have to do with FF ?
Comment :No idea whether problem solved .
Suggest
1.. Completely uninstall IE and check FF can download properly.
2.Try this add on for FF for more clues.
