WHY Can't I DOWNLOAD 3dmark 03?

[tameone]

ok I am encountering something extremely strange. I am unable to complete a download of futuremark 3dmark 03. My download freezes/times out at 11.5 MB EVERY TIME.

 

I 1st attempted to DL from fileshack.com NY server. Was dling at 250k/s (capped) but DL froze at 11.5 MB downloaded. I thought ok, I'll try a diff server. Attempted to DL from fileshack Chicago server. 250k dl speed, times out at 11.5 MB.

 

so.. I went over to majorgeeks.com, started the 3dmark 03 download.. 460k/s froze at 11.5 MB downloaded.

 

I didn't know what to think at this point, so I headed over to download.com and began to dl the 1st file I saw over 11.5MB.. it happened to be Serious Sam 2 demo.. It easily reached 25MB downloaded without a problem.

 

So then I went to a friends site and began to download a 77mb file at 500k/s, it completed without a hitch.

 

I thought maybe my problem magically got fixed, so, 2nd attempt to DL from majorgeeks.com, freezes at 11.5MB. Try from a german server hardwareluxx.de (got the link off futuremark.com)..100k/s, times out at 11.5MB downloaded.

 

So, I have concluded that I simply cannot download the 3dmark 03 installer!! what the hell is going on!?! I have run MS anti spyware and AVG antivirus and they found nothing. WHY does this program hate me so much!!

i got mine from filefront, try that one

[tameone]

took me all of 10 seconds at 450k/s to have the filefront download stop at 11.5 MB

Try a different browser

[tameone]

this is a relatively new box, so I don't have much installed yet. I downloaded firefox, tried to DL from majorgeeks.. froze at 11.8 MB (oo we're getting further?).. headed over to filefront, stopped at 11.8MB.

 

........................... I hate futuremark

 

this is the file I'm attempting to dl

3DMark03_v360_installer.exe

[Guest Gir]

Let me guess, you have the nvidia firewall installed.

[tameone]

that one froze at 11.4 MB

 

I went onto my other box (dunno why I didn't think to do this before), and it froze at 11.5MB downloaded as well!!!!

 

Only happens on this one file! Something must be wrong with my router/modem/ISP ?

 

edit: I don't have nvidia firewall installed. My other box has no firewall installed (not even windows firewall.. its running win2k sp4) and is outside of my routers firewall completely.

Whats the model of your modem, router and isp?

[Guest Gir]

i dunno, i just downloaded it off that link to make sure it was working and it got past ur dead spot, can u hook ur pc up withouth the router and try it?

[tameone]

My router is a Belkin 2.4ghz 802.11g wireless cable/DSL gateway router (although both these PCs are hooked through a cable) model # F5D7230-4 version 1112

 

My cable modem is a General Instrument (Motorla) SURFBoard SB3100 (given to me by cable company).

 

My ISP is Adelphia Powerlink.

 

I have never experienced anything like this before.

 

I will hook the PC directly to the modem and see what happens.

 

edit: ok here I am directly connected to the freshly reset cable mode, and Im staring at a download frozen at 11.5 MB :confused:
