Jeffrey Bolle Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Hello, This problem start shortly after I installed Windows Vista X86 Ultimate Edition on my computer a few months ago.What happens is when I download a file on any browser or with any download manager 50% of the time the download will get to 99% and then stop.The only way to get the file to finish is to use a download manager that allows pause and resume, once I've paused and resumed the download it will finish.I have observed this problem on both my computers, one runs Windows Vista Ultimate the other runs Windows Vista Home Premium both are x86 architecture.And my flatmate has the same problem on her new laptop.First I thought that it had to do with my virus scanner, Kaspersky, but the problem remain after disabling it. In the last few weeks I have tried the follow things:Disabling Kaspersky.Disabling the Windows Firewall.Disabling the Windows Defender service.Switching between Wireless and Wired Internet.Changing: Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments Value: ScanWithAntiVirus Data: 1I have this problem on various internet connections I've tried in both the UK and Spain.I have read the following thread, describing this problem unfortunately with no solution:http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t87977.htmlMy computer specs are as followed:Core 2 Duo E66004Gig of RAMRaptorX 150Gig HDDX1950XTX Radeon Graphics cardAsus P5W DH DeluxeDoes anyone have a solution to this problem?It is driving me crazy.Jeffrey Bolle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartel Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Yes this is the case since Vista RC1 for me, just be patient and it will complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Have you tried safe mode w/ networking, to see if the same behavior occurs there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth seeker Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 this is normal with Vista sh*t, the bigger the download file the longer it takes, the stupid operating system takes time to copy the file into your desired download folder, microsh*t promised a fix with vist sp1 due at hte end of this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djnes Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yes this is the case since Vista RC1 for me, just be patient and it will complete.Yep, that's what I've seen as well. Sometimes it takes longer than others, even from the same server, for a similar sized file, but it will complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DosR Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Same problem with RTM.After trying all possible solution, I figure out that itcould be download folder permision problem.and it is.

tazmaniandevil Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Don't know whether this is related, but some of our Vista Business machines suffer from poor network performance. Downloads can be incredibly slow given we have a very fast connection here.I found a blog last week (Don't remember where - sorry) recommending running the following commands, which seems to have worked for our systems.netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disablednetsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled netsh interface tcp set global ecncapability=enabled I have now integrated this into our WDS distribution and all seems well. No more slow downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
