Just wondering if anyone has ever come across this problem before..

I am running Windows XP Pro on my laptop and am having problems when I download any file from any site, including Microsofts sites etc.

What happens is this - If the file is 5 meg in size, my system starts the download, gets to about 200 or even 300kb and then shows as it has completed the download when really it hasn't.

I have tried this with Firefox also and the same thing happens so I am thinking it may be something to do with the way my system is pulling in data and corrupting it via its ip stack or something.

Not sure what to try here and any advice would be helpful.
