I tried the magnet link again, same result; wouldn't go above 1 kb. I also tried the older version of Java..no help there (installed them after saving to the comp as opposed to running from the download). The files I am trying to download (audio) are coming from at least 5 users with cable or higher connections. Is there a screenshot of anything in my prefs or bug reports that could help determine the problem? Let me know if there is and I will post whatever is needed.
