    Using IE?

    Tried another browser?

    Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any Software or Hardware that you installed or setup.

    Yes, using IE only... can it be a problem with a service provider... I think I am unable to download on a different laptop also, tried once and the moment the download speed went to 15 kbps... it stuck... What other broswer should I use?

    Are there wireless settings to check?

    Try and reset IE defaults to see if that will help

    Click on tools, internet options, adv tab, towards bottom - Click Reset Defualts and click OK and Apply

    After resetting, close IE and reopen and see if that helped out or not

    If that does not help, you can try and use Firefox to see if any difference in dl speed

    Just install with recommended settings
    Firefox Browser | Upgrade to the latest version of Firefox | Free Download


    If same issue, would be something else to consider
