Okay.. I do have Java in fact I got every bell and whistle I could.. and am using IE6... I have 512 ram, and NO TSR's running.. got a tech for a hubby who keeps my machines slim and mean running... I even turned OFF my fire wall, but no help there.. when I was talking to Dan Farr he said my machine did not like to "talk to" their server.. and it seems to still be true... oh.. and I had this download trouble before IE6 too, exactly the same. And yes, download stops (no matter size of file) at about 288 KB or so.. I find it odd that I CAN download from anywhere else in the world, quite litterally... so it is honestly a msytery! Thanks for your help all and I sure will send a note to Don, thanks, Don!! The archives for freebies don't help me.. it's still the same thing, on the DAZ servers.. freebies, products.. I wish I knew... Lyne
