Why does my download always hang up halfway especially when I’m downloading files larger than 50 mb?

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

Maybe you have too many things running on your computer at once. Since it is usually advisable to shut down all other programs when installing things, try exiting all programs, including those in your Sys Tray, before you start your download.

After your download and installation, if any, restart your computer.

It also doesn’t hurt to run Ad-aware after you restart your computer after anytime you download and install something on your computer.   Ad-aware removes spyware and it’s FREE!

Answer #2

do you mean off a peer to peer program such as torrent? sometimes you cant connect to the peers/seeders, but sometimes if you pause it then try again later it connects.

Answer #3

The download rate may not be fast enough and it’s ‘timing out’.
