Downloading Problems Lately

Lately....all my ISO Image downloads seem to start, download about 11%, then quit.

I've been trying for a week to download the Fedora Core 9 Live CD ISO to make a bootable USB.

Doesn't matter if I use Linux or Windows. Doesn't matter which browser I use. Results are the same.

Could it be Qtel?

Is anybody else experiencing problems downloading ISO's?

Thanks

again on the seeders and leechers of the torrent file. That is why I will download a file and the download speed would be 220 Kb/sec while the other file would be nothing but 30 Kb/sec ... I got a 2mb also and it works good for some torrents while it does not with the others ..

Even direct downloads it would differ and the key sometimes is in the download speed supported by the server from where you are downloading your files or the max. download speed allowed by the website so the server won't be down because of high load ... getting lots of requests from different clients ...

Well, I don't have a clue why I paid extra for a 2mb Qtel ADSL line, when I have never seen download speeds anywhere near that here ... :)

I just hope it doesn't give up and time out again!

Thanks for the tips fellows.

I agree with KING EDSHEL , download through a torrent, and use other software to download like Ares or Limewire,

Recently i have downloaded 3 operating sysems, 3-4 movies, songs, and many sofwares, i dint experienced any problem.

One more thing, qtel doesn't have issues from it side, the problem can befrom your OS,Explorer

And some times your modem get hug up , switchit off and start again.

King, like always is right in analyzing the problem. Nothing seems to be the matter with Internet downloads.

downloads via torrents as a torrent no matter what is the media type ... it is either with the tracker that you are suing or the seeders ... don't think that Q-Tel has something to do with it ... try downloading another file and see how would it go ... same problem, then it might be connection issues ... if not then file problem ...
