Recently I bought a Latitude D600 Dell, standard off the shelf with XP. Everyone in my house has no problems with the internet, we maintain about 2 computers on server all the time. including my own. When I download a movie, song, or program file (even if its like a youtube movie, that im not even downloading to the computer) the net shuts off quickly and then turns right back on. Usually this just restarts the download from where it was and its not a huge problem. But I have been trying to download flash and java, things to get my computer running well and half way into it, it fails and I have to start over.
Someone once said that it would be interference on the line - but no other computer has this problem, and its not any other time but downloads. So it has to be something elce. Anything I can check or settings I could tweak? Do computers have a "cap" on incoming data that would knock the net off?

so, you dont mention whether you use wired or wireless networks.
If you are using wireless, check your signal strength and if required move the access point to somewhere where you all get good signal.
Make sure the QoS packet scheduler is installed in your network connection too as this helps to prioritise network traffic
Dont start tweaking until you have checked all the basics

Rather than download try "save target as", designate a file and see if this solves your glitch.
