Occasionally I have to download some rather large files for work. In the 200 - 800 MB range. Although the speed is great when it is running I've found the the download often gets interrupted with the speed dropping to zero for a minute or two before resuming and often the download doesn't complete all the way and the file is corrupt.
For example I recently tried to download some test equipment control software from Keysight. It is a 736 MB download. I was running Networx during the download and this is what I saw:
Start:
Continuation:
Even though it appeared to complete it turned out it didn't, it came up a few MB short and the file was corrupt.
I had to try the download 3 times before I got a good file out of it. Fortunately I know to only attempt these downloads during bonus byte time so I don't really care about the data loss. I'm more worried about the fact that I need to baby sit the process and check the file as soon as it's done to make sure it is not corrupt, so using a download manager isn't an option.
This morning I attempted another 200 MB download from a different website and it also got almost to the end before terminating, and the file was corrupt.
I will repeat the 200 MB download tomorrow morning and I'm thinking of trying it with web acceleration turned off to see if that improves things.
I found one thread from a year ago where someone had a similar problem but I did not see a solution.
Any ideas?
