When I want to download a file which size is over say 100mb i get the message after the download percentage hit 100 that "<filename> could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" it was ok previously, could be the upgrade or a plugin interference??? Please any suggestions? Thanks in advance

That is usually a problem with the file permissions of the temp folder and the destination folder that you have chosen. You may also have to check your security (anti-virus) software and make sure that it isn't locking files in the %temp% folder.
