I tried to download AIM and it stops in the middle of the download each time. Any sugestions for a windows XP?

Question

I used to have AIM on my computer but it got deleted and now as I try to download the new AIM it stops in the middle of the download. I have tried many times and same results. Can anyone help? Any ideas?

Answer 1

try to Turn of your virus protection and firewall for the time it is downloading, then turn it back on when done

Answer 2

Your internet connection might be timing out.  What type of connection do you have?

This'll probably sound like a hassle but I would try to download an Internet add-on that assists with downloads and allows you to continue one that stops suddenly.  Lightning Download or something

You can remove the probram later if you don't like/want it.

Answer 3

get a faster internet connection, you are probably using dial up which has a tendancy to do things like that
