Every time I download something from the Internet the download only proceeds so far before freezing. When watching a video on the Internet (i.e. on youtube) the video only plays so far...but nowhere near the end. I've looked through/adjusted the Internet Options/Security Settings in IE and nothing seems to correct the problem. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Is your internet cache too small?

Thanks for the help. The cache was set at 50MB so I increased it to 1024MB and also cleared temp internet files again...still freezes on downloading. Any other suggestions?

I think YouTube itself is freezing. I see that too.

It also might be that your ISP stops the download while scanning for malware. Your browser might be doing that too.
