| 674554 | 2008-06-02 02:38:00 | Thanks for the info Speedy. I'm certainly not disconnecting "all the time". But it is annoying to go for >10 hrs and then have the line disconnect. I am considering switching to broadband but haven't figured out who to go with. I know that xtra get a caning in some forums but I wonder if that is because they are sooo big. Complaints, I suspect, come from < 1% of customers and most satisfied customers don't say anything. Maybe I'm wrong. From looking at several forums the vote presently seems to go to Xnet. However, I have seen that in the past - good reputations turns to custard when growth outstrips ability to service. Oh, well, maybe I should just take the plunge. By the way, presently am successfully downloading the file I require (27% complete). Have interrupted it several times and it seems to be picking up OK. Decided to give Free Downlad Manager Lite a go. Thanks to all for your help. Michael |

| 674557 | 2008-06-02 21:52:00 | Hi Speedy & beeswax34 I live in Hamilton. By the way, I am using SystemWorks for system and disc maintenance not for AV. No, the upgrade was not free. I downloaded it some time ago and all was well until the latest updates from MS. A lot was downloaded and installed. I suspect the culprit was some component of SP3. Screwed something up with SystemWorks hence having to download and reinstall it. This morning I find that the download has stopped - incomplete. It seems to be stuck at 67% (147/218 MB). For some reason it wont start again despite "resume support" being enabled. Doesn't seem to be a problem with my connection i.e. other things are working OK. The time has come for a call to Symantec's NZ office to get a copy of the update on CD. Thanks beeswax for the recommendation for Xnet. That is my current thinking as well. Thanks again guys.
