I've tried like 6 times since release, twice on Chrome, then Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, then on Internet Download Manager. After about 2GB of downloading, the file completely stops downloading and throws the error about the max traffic or something on this file being reached on the server. When done through browsers it acts like the file is finished, but when I boot it it wont load some drivers and cannot install because they havnt been downloaded.

What can I do? Ive tried different machines and rebooted modem after each go. Its getting quite annoying.

Anyone else having this problem too?

You downloading via a company network ? If so, could be some firewall killing the connection etc.

I was downloading on chrome, and mine cutoff at 2gb earlier today.

[edit] i am on residential adsl , was downloading x64 windows 8, from the official microsoft site.

Chrome just ended the download, no errors. It looked like it had downloaded ok, except for the file size.

Mine decided it didn't want to complete for some technical reason. Come to think of it, it might be because of what you're suggesting too. I bailed on it, as it was a netbook with low res display anyway.
