My downloads will not complete!!

I am having a problem today with downloads, using Chrome.



I download a file and it gets to 100% (i.e 34.4Mb of 34.4Mb 0 Sec remaining), and just sits there!



I have tried cleaning all my Temporary Internet files, caches, etc.



I have even went from Stable to Beta Chrome to see if that solves the problem?



AHHHHH Opera is doing it too!



Must be something else!! I have Windows 7 x64 SP1, running NOD32 Antivirus and Comodo Firewall!



This is driving me crazy!



Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this and how I can diagnose / fix it?

Could be some problem with the scan it's presumably calling from the AV software?



Try reinstalling NOD32.

Hmm...does this only happen with Google Chrome? Have you tried other browsers?

Have you read his post?

Oh sorry, I didn't see opera. If reinstalling NOD32 still does this, maybe you should try a different AV.

How long have you waited? I had that happen a couple of times with MSE on Vista 32Bit, but after a little while sitting like that the download completed fine.



What could be happening is, that the download speed drops extremely for some reason.

Maybe monitor your bandwidth while you download. You know Task Manger can display how much you are receiving/sending?

Come to think of it, I have experienced this downloading problem with Google Chrome. I'm not too sure about Opera but it does not happen on Firefox. Do you have any other browsers aside from Chrome and Opera?

I just tried the same file in FireFox and Chrome - in Chrome, it took about 15 Minutes to go from 100% to actually complete?



I am still waiting on firefox to finish, but it has said "A few seconds remaining" for the past 5 minutes.



It just seems to be .zip and .exe files that seem to be affected?



Thanks

Happens to me with .zip and .exe files too. Are you sure the link you downloaded it from is 100% ok? It usually happens to me when the link has gone bad. File seems corrupted and won't finish. Maybe you could try looking for some other source for what you're downloading?

Strange. I have encountered the "100%" complete yet it never actually finishes scenario, but not recently. Firefox usually names partially downloaded files with *.part extensions - close the web browser and rename that file with the correct extension and it might work.
