when i download movies my download stops in the middle. I use Free Download Manager and i get the message "File not found in the server" error. The download manger tries to reconnect to server several times and then stops. It usually happens when i download large size videos of about 100 MB. The download stops at random point, sometimes when it is 45% complete and sometime when it is 98% complete. I have adsl broadband connection with download bandwith of 11 kbps. I dont understand why but it seems to me that the server has set certain timeout settings which stops me from downloading after sometime. Please enlighten me!

I can't be sure, but I would guess this is an ISP setting.
There are often restrictions in the contract that restrict how much you can download in a specific period. The link would be throttled automatically on you.
If this is the case then further downloads at that time (after the main one has stopped) would also fail or struggle.
Hello,
Can you re-download the same file after file download stops in the middle? If not, then maybe the file is actually deleted from servers. Some file hosting servers like rapidshare allows only 10 (or so) downloads for a file that was uploaded by a member who does NOT owns a premium account. So, maybe while you are downloading, the 10 download limit gets completed and your download stops.
Moreover, sites like rapidshare impose a maximum download limit on persons who DON'T own a premium account. Even if file size is larger than allowed maximum size, the download starts and stops when this limit is reached.
This is just my assumption that you are using such services. If not, then I have no idea about what is causing these problems.

thankyou all for the response and support. Well, the issue is not related to any type of accounts or membership because i am downloading from free sites. It is just that large size files donot get downloaded whereas 30-50 MB files do not have the same problem. so i wonder why and feel that there is nothing to do with my system either.

I think you may be misunderstanding the concept here.
We are talking about the account you have with your ISP. This is not related to the account to get access to any of the downloads.
Does that make things a little clearer?
Hello,
If you are sure that it this nothing to do with paid download sites, then read and try to understand what NeoPa is telling.
You can even try contacting your ISP (Internet Service Provider) customer care/service facility for more details.

thankyou for all of you there advicing me. And i am confident it is to do with my ISP which i had a doubt.

You're welcome :)
Oh, and I expect you're right about the ISP.
i found out a lot of threads in the net discussing the same issue and i dont know how they have overcome the problem. Proxy session timeout is what i think as the problem but i dont have a very good idea on it. So i dont know how this can be solved.

Do you know you're using a proxy server?
It wasn't mentioned earlier (which would be strange if you were using one - considering the question). I doubt you even use one to be honest.
well i didnt mentioned about the proxy thing before because it is not there in my LAN. So, here i am referring to my ISP's proxy as i am connected to the net from my ISP using a ADSL modem. So, the proxy rule would certainly affect me if my ISP have one.

Do you know your ISP uses one?
I cannot imagine that this would be something you need worry about. I can't imagine an ISP using one, but if they were to, it woould still be their responsibility to manage, and not yours.
Normally (according to my understanding - I don't use them personally) proxy's are something that PCs in your network are configured to go via when accessing the internet.
