It would be useful to know what message you get when the download fails.

I don't know what 'orbit' it but if it is any kind of download accelerator it won't work as they are blocked.

Yeah..Orbit is a download manager/accelerator..why not uninstall it then try to download a file the 'normal way' through IE or Firefox.

Ive tried a couple of them type programs and IMO they dont do what they claim to do..the only thing that makes your downloads faster is higher speed broadband from your ISP.
Mmmmmm...Sandy ive 'ad her ye know. :)

True, they were useful in the days of modems where you needed to saturate your connection to save money. These days they are more useful for queuing downloads on sites that prevent you from having multiple downloads running.
