If you connect with another machine does the downloading resume?

As for connections, going off your netstat, the only thing actually making a connection (apart from some sort of RPC loopback) is an MSN server, so you could try end tasking any msn messenger related stuff in your task manager and reconnecting.

Edit: okay was too slow :p
Lol hardly, I've had this laptop around 9 months, and before that I've been told it's ex-SAS equipment, and came with nothing on at all!

It's actually an IBM Thinkpad T41, and them Lenovo bits are essential for me, such as the Active shock protection, easy eject (mainly for the docking station) and the system driver!

Trust me, if it aint necessary then it gets removed (hence some files in the log reported as being not found or removed)

I've been an active system builder now for the last 12 years, and the problem I posted about I have never seen it before.

I have just tested every single PC in the house (with the grateful help of a massive Ethernet lead) and it dont seem to be happening again, maybe it was just I dunno really, I am stumped lol!

But thanks also for your help, if it wasnt for helpful people like you & Johnathan, I'd be pulling my hair out!

Thanks again, rep on its way to you
