If you want me to have a look on monday, PM me some details....

modem mac address/ postcode and house number/ stb smart card number/ account number/ inside leg measurement... any of those will do

That's for me to know and you to wonder about.

Well I've had a reply to my email to tech support at Daz

HI Mrs**************,

Unfortunately, download accelerators do not work on our Secure Site, because the download links on your Account page are actually just redirects to our secure Server. And download accelerators do not get redirected properly to be able to actually download--they only take up download attempts, then fail.
If you have any firewalls and antivirus software, I would also recommend disabling that during your download, as these can slow your download speed quite a bit. Make sure that you have completely updated your Operating System, and do not go to other sites if you do disable your software.

Now where have I heard that about Firewalls and AV and updating the OS before.

Not a vast deal of help.I reckon even IF I do that I stand no chance of getting the larger downloads to succeed.And no mention of the downloads that I can now longer download because I've used up my download links limit.

I was thinking of joining their poxy Platinum Club but if this is what happens when one has a download problem.....

Well was I wrong.It did help.Pity I didn't know sooner.

However this begs the question?When I downloaded Bryce 5 from the same site last month why did I have no downloading problems.I had exactly the same setup and ZAP and NOD32 running and I had no problems at all but B5 was a massive 90MB and the largest file I had to download this time was 25 MB the smallest 5MB

They probably modified their server setup recently.
Just download one at a time and you should be fine, they've obviously got some sort of script which detects multiple connections from the same IP.
Which browser you use is unimportant, although trying out Firefox wouldn't hurt.

IT was just as bad under firefox.

Now all I need is for them to give me another chance to download the other three downloads that I ran out of downloads allowances for.

They must know how bad it is if they offer you 4 download attempts.
