thanks will but i've tried most of those and can't seem to get it working.
i do see one possible problem in start/run/services.msc. when i right click
BITS/properties/general the startup type is automatic but the service status
is 'stopped'. if i click the start button under that indicator i get a
message that says "windows could not start the [BITS] on local computer. for
more information, review the system event log. if this is a non-microsoft
service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error
code -2147024894."

any ideas?

Hi,

Try setting BITS (background intelligent tranfer service) to restart on
failure. Run services.msc, locate BITS and double click it. On the recovery
tab, set the first action to restart the service.
