Downloads keep failing for browsers and web installer
Hi,
I'm trying to download xilinx vivado design suite and cannot. The download fails for both Chrome and Firefox and the web installer fails as well. I've tried using a single file download, removing myself from my family's account and also tried using a download manager. I also deleted
This issue has been happening for about half a year now- I've been able to finish downloads by simply retrying them, but I've never tried to download a file this large (the single file download is roughly 60 GB and I would rather solve this issue than retry the download for a 60gb file).
Any ideas or suggestions why my downloads keep failing? Is this maybe an issue with my ISP?

Do you get any error messages? What download manager are you using? Have you contacted their support?
This download manager works separately from the browser.
The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.
I don't know why, but I have downloaded this manager and even downloaded the extension and I still cannot get the download manager to download it. Downloads are still failing. The only error message that I get is failed on browsers or "A file failed to download. Would you like to retry downloading it?" and then the entire download installer starts over. Very frustrating.
I managed to get the downloader manager to work and it is now downloading at a rate of 100b/s. meaning it will take 17 years to finish at this rate. Do you have any ideas why it would download this slow with the manager? On firefox it was downloading between 3-5Mbps.
Are you doing this over cable or a WiFi connection?
This is a WiFi connection w/ comcast. But I have no problems downloading games on game clients or anything, it's very odd
sometimes this error screen shows up
It is possible that (anti-virus) security software is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.

If you do not need to use a VPN proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
- Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
See "Firefox connection settings":
Also make sure you have enough free disk space in both the temp folder location as in the final destination (2x60 GB).
