It happens from time to time to me too on some sites, and when it happens it's invariably because the server on which the site is is malfunctioning.

If it happens to you a lot, it could be your ISP, it would be for the best for you to ask them.

It would help to know exactly which files you're having problems with. Give me a few examples so I can check them out. I need the file names & the pages they're posted on. It's just possible the links are dead. This happens from time to time. The webmaster can't fix it unless he knows about it.

Sound's like to me that between the process of tranfering the file from the web to you computer the file becomes corupt. I think the may be a issue that you need to contact you Internet Service Provider(ISP) for instruction on fixing this error. Also i suggest trying to download a file useing Internet Explorer Version 6.0.2800.1106 & see if you come accross this same problem...

Best of luck  ;D
