Downloading issues

[DerMeister82]

No matter what day, or time of day, my update download times out at either 42 or 47 percent, every time.  Download speed is 12.5 megs according to ratemyspeed.  Anyone else having this issue, or is it a security/anti-virus causing this?

We cannot know. We know nothing about your connection, your Inmternet provider, your computer. And synthetic speed tests are meaningless - like all sorts of synthetic benchmarks.

Yeah, I know those are meaningless, but someone would have asked anyway.  If the speed test is meaningless...then so is the ISP....

I am asking if this is caused by an anti virus program, or if several people have had issues downloading updates lately.  PC has Windows 7.

DerMeister82 if you are continuing to experience download timeouts then you may want to try either using a wired ethernet connection or an alternate ISP.

Do you even know what you are talking about. I mean where is the 'pump'?
