try removing the router and see if you still have failures, that will determine if it is router related or not.

Ok, I was working on my network yesterday and while running Windows update, it would stop downloading after 2MB of one of the updates. &nbsp; Keep in mind it did computer around 10 updates or so before that with no issue. &nbsp;I tried it several times and it just wouldnt download that one update. &nbsp;I experienced the same problem on that computer downloading the adaware install file. &nbsp;While spybot downloaded no problem. &nbsp; It would get to about 24KB or 500KB, usually would stop like 2 seconds in.<br />
<br />
This computer was just reloaded so that pretty much rules out the likelyhood of a virus.<br />
<br />
Then today I was at another PC and experienced the same problem trying to download drivers from HP. &nbsp;I tried in both firefox and IE and same thing happens. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I am thinking it must be router related? &nbsp;<br />

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
