Files Not Downloading

[Scott F Adams]

My file downloads are not getting past the "Get File
Information" dialog. It just sits there at zero percent
downloaded until (after 5 mins) I am told that the remote
site cannot be contacted. I just reinstalled IE6.0 SP1
but to no avail.

Anyone know of a cure for this?

Rule out parasites that may be calling home while you wait.

Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions
