Thank you John and Geminate for your prompt replies.
I shall try firefox with the extension you have mentioned. But did you
have the same problem John before you tried what you have suggested?
Geminate, the problem is that this has happened on several sites and be
it any file, if it is more than abt 25 MB, this just HAS TO happen. I
have tried and retried several times, but it never does complete. So I
realised the problem is something deeper, not with the file or the
server/site.
Once again I thank you for helping me out.
