The download progress bar on the upper right side of the firefox window has turned grey and download is not progressing, help
I started downloading a file whose size was 4.75GB and the time remaining shown was 4 days. I left it overnight (computer was set to never sleep mode), and next day (today) morning the total file size shown in the download bar is 534MB. Yes, this doesnt sound sane, but I am telling what has happened. Moreover the download stopped progressing and the seemed to resume once I had manually paused and resumed it. Please suggest what is wrong and how to fix it

Hi, are you downloading the files directly from the server or using sharing website like megaupload, rapidshare.
If you downloading from the web sharing site, your download stopped because download time expired.
i am downloading it directly from server. are there any kinds of setting which needs to be done in mozilla?
It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
