28870	2001-12-28 04:49:00	I use IE 5.5 SP1, and I cannot download anything. The normal download windows pops up, begins the dload, and stops at 40-50kb. This happens with pictures and pages over 50k also. BUT, I can dload from ftp sites, and the PC-cillin updater still works, and the SETI@home dloader also works. These are independent of IE. ZoneAlarm I also use. My modem is an 'AMBIENT external 56k', from Dick Smiths. Help? :)	Guest (0)
28871	2001-12-28 05:48:00	Try using a download manager, I recommend 'getright'. Maybe seti@home is taking too much bandwidth for you to dload?? Try disabling it and find out if thats the culprit?	Guest (0)

I did this to my other machine and it didnt work so in the end I upgraded the other machine to ie6	Guest (0)
