Particularly from some sites, when I press download icon, the window is
getting blank with done indication in left down corner and download not
proceeding. Plz! hlp!
Just some websites?
Try adjusting your MTU first:

If that doesn't help, check for LSP / Winsock corruption:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=811259
If XP SP2, Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh winsock reset catalog" into the
command window.
Give LSP-Fix <
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>, WinsockFix
<
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257>, or WinsockXPFix
<
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html> a shot.
If no help yet, reset TCP/IP.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=299357
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh int ip reset c:\netsh.txt" into the command
window.
Next, check for a Hosts file or proxy block.
Search your entire system drive, including hidden and system folders, for file
"hosts". There is one legit copy, in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\ (for
Windows NT/2000/XP, for instance). The others are possibly bogus, and part (but
just part) of the problem.
Examine the contents of each copy of "hosts" found, using Notepad. Scroll to the
end of each Hosts file, by hitting Page Down, page by page, before deciding that
any "Hosts" file is empty. Look out for blank lines at the beginning and end of
the file, after "localhost", placed there by an exploit. Do not assume that a
file is empty simply because you see "localhost" followed by 50 blank lines!
