Download starting, then going to 0.

[Foxah]

Well it pretty much explains itself in the title, anyways.

I start off downloads often, and they work great - but then suddently after like 2 mins they all go to 0, and stay there - but still say "Downloading".. The weird part is, if I restart the program, it will start downloading again...

Someone help?

Don't know. You don't give much information. Could be your isp. Could be fake files.

It's with every file I try to download. Even if I pause it, and restart it - it will start downloading for 2 min, and then go to 0 again.

Sounds like fake files to me. As a test try d/loading a file from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/audio2.shtml

If it goes to "needs more sources" right click the file and tell it to find more sources. Sometimes they help getting started. If the file d/loads fine then you've probably been trying bad files. If the file doesn't d/load properly, it could mean your isp is traffic shaping p2p programs.

Post back your results.
