**Maggy** · 30-10-2004, 17:30

I am having a bit of an issie with the Daz online store based at http://www.daz3d.com/

I have bought several items to download from them.For each Item I get 3 or 4 download attempts.Now they usually start well and some even get to finish downloading.However others seem to start well and then get 'stuck' and if I leave it running it sometimes gets 'timed out'(who by I've no idea)and sometimes it revives and I get the full download.

I usually use Internet Download Accelerator but I am unable to use it at this site.As IE seems to be unable to resume some downloads is there any other browser that WILL resume without fail any failed downloads?

My OS is XP Home and I'm using version IE 6.I've the now 300k BB from NTL and yes I've run the Dan Elwell BB speed test which says my download speeds are something to 'investigate'.Thus far I've not had many problems with downloads as I usually rely on IDA but I really need to resolve this as I have a time limit for my goods to be downloaded of 3/11/04 and I do not want to run out of downloads either(which I've already done for one item).I will be ringing TS but I suspect that I will be taken through the routine of it's your OS,Browser,PC that's at fault.So I want to do my own investigations BEFORE I ring up.

So any ideas?

Incog.
