Hi
My PC has suddenly developed a problem. When I download things (off the web not K-lite) they download as say 10mb, and it takes the time that a 10mb file would take. But when I try to run it, i cant. I noticed that the file has suddenly changed to 351kb, this cant be right. I dont use a download manager, just a plain download off IE. Eg when I downloaded raven shield demo about 250mb it takes 2 1/2 hours, but then it changes to 21mb when its actually finished.
Can anyone help? Or has anyone had the same problem? its really annoying :blink:

Btw Running Win XP Pro, latest updates, latest IE etc, no firewall.

Cheers
Daniel

Maybe run a virus checker ?
I wonder what happens when you download off kazaa ?
Maybe you have a corrupt h/d ?
I will ponder on that one (scratches head)

With IE, sometimes downloads become "broken". Just use a download manager, such as Download Accelerator Plus.
