It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.

Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

Yep. That did it! Duh!! Just after I confirmed the posting, I realized the same thing. Disabled Avast! and everything went perfectly. (That's why I'm using FireFox ver 7.0.1 now). ThanX. Len C
