Download Interrupted? - I was recently downloading a file and it stopped, showing 'interrupted' in the download box. Showing 1-186 of 186 messages. It generally happens to the first download. So say I'm downloading 5 files the first will interrupt but the rest will usually be fine. I'm running Windows Vista 32bit. Unable to download files from internet.

The simplest trick to download torrent without getting into any trouble is to upload it to a cloud storage like zbigz or bytebox. Step 1- Copy the magnet link of the torrent.

My laptop is not downloading internet files, whether they are games or files from a trusted website, or even Word documents sent to my email. I can start the download, but it never completes, and when I view what's being downloaded, the file will be on the list, but nothing is happening. I have Windows 7, and this is a new problem. I have been able to download before.. any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
What security software do you have on the notebook?
Open windows Control Panel, open Internet Options, click the Advanced Tab, click the 'Reset' Button, then click Apply and OK. Restart the notebook and see if this has helped.
If it hasn't, on another PC, download the installer Firefox, transfer this to your notebook and install it. - do you still have the same problems downloading using this browser?
Another option to try is the following. Pokemon galaxy elements rom download torrent.
Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f8 as you start up to access Windows Recovery Console. Use the arrow keys to select 'Safe Mode with Networking' and hit enter. Let windows fully load in this mode and see if you can now access the internet and download - only choose a known 'safe site' such a Microsoft or HP as your security software will not be running while in this mode. To exit Safe Mode, simply restart the notebook in the usual way and Windows will start normally.
Let me know the result.
Regards,

Your ISP advertises a 40 megabit per second connection, but that doesn’t look anything like the download speed you see when you’re grabbing a big file. What’s the deal? Are you not getting all the bandwidth you’re paying for?
Dear How-To Geek,
The package deal I have through my local ISP is for a 40Mb connection (that’s the wording they use). When I download files I get around 4.5-5 (and definitely not 40!) Now… this doesn’t seem to be a big deal, because I can download everything I want pretty quickly, YouTube doesn’t stutter or anything, I never have to wait to load my email or web page, etc. But if I’m paying for a 40Mb connection why am I not getting a 40Mb connection?
Sincerely,
Bandwidth Confused
This is a fun question because it allows us to discuss and clear up a common misconception, and learn a little bit about computer history along the way.
Let’s start by delving back into the history of computer networks. Data transfer over networks has always been measured in bits. A bit is the smallest and most basic unit of measurement in computing and digital communications. Bits are most commonly represented in the binary system, via 0 and 1. Bit, in fact, is a contraction of the the longer phrase “Binary Digit”.
RELATED:How to Find the Fastest ISP in Your Area
The speed of a network is denoted using a bit-per-second notation. Originally, networks were so slow that their speed was measured in just bits, but as network speeds increased, we started measuring internet speed in kilobits per second (remember 56k modems? That meant 56 kilobits per second), and now, megabits per second.
Now, here’s where things get confusing for the average non-geeky-Joe. Computer storage is not measured in bits, it’s measured in bytes. A bit, as we’ve established, is the tiniest unit of measurement in the digital kingdom, that primordial 1 or 0. A byte, however, is a unit of digital information that (in many operating systems, including Windows) is eight bits long. Another term, used by computer scientists to avoid confusion over the different size byte structures out there in the world, is octet. In other words, the byte system that your operating system uses is a bunch of bits strung together in groups of eight.
RELATED:Why You Probably Aren’t Getting the Internet Speeds You’re Paying For (and How to Tell)
This difference is where, on the surface, it all seems to fall apart. You see, you have a broadband connection that is capable of 40 megabits per second (under ideal conditions, 40,000,000 bits come down the line). But your operating system and all the apps on it (web browsers, download helpers, torrent clients, etc.) all measure data in megabytes, not megabits. So when you see that download chugging along at 5MB/s, that means megabytes per second–as opposed to your 40Mb/s, or megabits per second, internet package. (Note the MB vs Mb notation.)
If we divide the speed of your connection (measured in megabits) by 8, we arrive at something resembling the download speed you’re seeing in your speed tests: 40 megabits divided by 8 becomes 5 megabytes. So yes–if you’re seeing closer to 5 megabytes per second on a 40 megabit plan, you are indeed getting what you pay for (and can even pat yourself on the back because you’re getting downloads speeds consistently at the edge of what your internet package supports).
Why I'm Unable To Download Torrent From My Internet Speed
Keep in mind that not all downloads will max out your connection. Some may be much slower, not because your internet is slow, but because the server you’re downloading the file from is busy or slow.

You can back this up by heading to a site like speedtest.net, which measures your internet speed in megabits, just like your internet provider does. If Speedtest’s results match up with the internet package on your bill, you’re golden. If not, it’s probably time to contact your internet provider and see why you aren’t getting the speeds you pay for.
