Is the other computer also using XP ?

I don't have XP but could it be related to security options of your browser ?

Don't know without more specifics. If you're having this problem with FilePlanet like sites (you know, wait 6 seconds and download will begin), you may have some java/ActiveX issues with this computer.

If the file type is common amond those that you can't download, is the source location common?

It could be a lot of things. Incorrect IP and subnet mask can cause these types of problems.

You know, you might be looking at some kind of firewall problem. Like your computer is not acknowledging received packets causeing the stalling. Are you using a software firewall? Does the other computer use the same one/version?

No, I havent got a firewall - exept whats on the router, but that would effect both computers.
