Partial downloads

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?

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.
