Can't D/L all files from the Internet, but some do?

I'm baffled...

WinXP Pro with all the latest update. Browser used, IE 7 and FireFox 2.0.

What I've been able to figure out so far is that it isn't a specific set
if files or locations they are from. 2 particular ones that are giving
me fits are :

http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/nero7-up.php

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/downloads/software/US/EN,CRID=1792,contentid=12468

Two links that have the lastest s/w for Nero and my particular mouse...

What I have found, and it works for the Logitech site is that if I
SNOOZE my AV (Computer Associates AV from the EZ-Armour suite) that the
file will come down, but it takes a few cancel/retries to make it work.
Same problem exists in both browsers.

I can't get the Nero down at all?

This started a few weeks ago and I can't trace the error to anything or
something I've installed?

It isn't the site either? I had a problem with a file on PC Mag's site,
but other files came down OK.

Suspect a TCP/IP problem, maybe too long a code path (which is why
snoozing the AV might make it work?) or some other malady?

Suggestions?

OK, I booted into Safe Mode and tried
http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/nero7-up.php again.

If I use the default, I couldn't get more than 50% down? However, there
is a link to use HTTP, and with that link it completed? I did try that
under normal boot and it too didn't complete.

Is it the web site (it did come down slow and had some stops as it came
down) or this computer?

I know most START applications didn't load during Safe Mode, but what
else could be the different?
