Most of the time when I try to download a sizeable file (eg 30MB) over my
broadband connection using, I get an error message:

Internet Explorer cannot download ..."whatever" from "wherever"
A non-blocking socket operation could not be completed immediately.

This makes it very difficult to download anything significant and I can't
find anything on MSKB that points me to how I might fix it.

I'd be very grateful for any pointers or help.

Many thanks

the netsh command in SP2 can rebuild the Winsock catalog. Open the command
prompt and type: netsh winsock reset catalog then press ENTER.
