This was actually the first time I was trying AVG. My ISP provides McAfee free but that causes problems with my music server. Now that I know what the problem is I can look into alternates to AVG at my leisure. Avira works fine on my laptop so I'll use it for now. And I do not have to RMA my machine...

SUCCESS!!! I discovered the culprit. It was the AVG antivirus software I installed the very first day I booted up the fit-PC2. I uninstalled AVG and turned off the Windows Firewall and did some more download tests. They all worked! I then turned the Firewall back on and all test downloads still work...

Irad, I really appreciate all the time and help you've given. This is a frustrating problem. Since I have a wireless laptop and 2 wired ethernet computers (as well as the previous machine that the fit-PC2 replaced) in my network that have never had problems downloading files of any size, I have to a...

Thanks for the ideas, but as I mentioned previously I have tried all of those things.

The good ones were all under 100 MB. This morning I tried a 240 MB download and it failed. Tried it again using fl...

Thanks for the quick replies. I bought the machine pre-loaded with Windows XP SP3 (Home) and have only tried using the IE8, which was already on the machine. I will try downloading firefox from another machine and installing it when I get home from work. Just as another piece of information. Since I...

Hi. I am a new owner of a fit-PC2 and pretty technically oriented. I apologize in advance if my first post here is too lengthy, but I wanted to convey everything I have already tried with regards to my problem. I have had my fit-PC2 with Windows XP home for about 2 weeks now and for the most part re...
