Not sure if i should mention my Broadband provider, but whenever i try to download a file it will start then get x amount of the way through(this is a random amount) then freeze.
When i cancel the download and try again, it will pass the point it froze at and then carry on until the end, normally.

Also when i am streaming internet audio through Winamp or Media player same thing happends too. It will play for x amount of minutes then freeze. Click on the play button again it will fill up the buffer as normal then carry on.

Im using XP Pro, has anyone else had this problem or know of a cure?

Thanks

Hmmm. I have ntl broad and no problems like you describe. However it may be I don't recognise the symptoms? I just assume it's other users going off-line....
