Personaly, I have not had that problem with downloading most things. However some servers are rather slow or clogged by the page/file requests. For Sergemarck's clothes I tend to go direct to his pages and get them from there. The thing is this, when downloading from here, you are not really getting the file from here, rather you are being redirected to the file. There is a main problem, if you are not getting the full bandwith from your modem (often the case with analog modems) your browser is actually attempting to still load all the content from this site. and all the sites/servers you are redirected thru. Which spreads your bandwith mightly thin for a "Normal" modem, thus the sites are ab;e to push all the content, which causes the sending site to reset (to force and better reconnect). Ok, that real nice but what can you do about it? Well your options are this. Go to the site the file you want is and download it there. OR, once you get the reset error. restart the download, normally, the parts of the file you have are still in your beowser's cashe and once restarting the download you brower will use the crc of the zip and basically tell the server where to restart the file.
