Many thanks to the several responders. I've sent a query to CV/OOL about the modem. (The acknowledgement said that it may take 3 business days to get a response!) And I've learned that I do not have the latest level of firmware for the router. So I've downloaded the latest but haven't loaded it yet.
Tursiops_G asked about my OS. Windows XP.
Thanks again for the help.

said by Tursiops_G :The First problem that I see here is that your SB4100 Modem is no longer compliant with Optimum Online's 15/2 service (now standard)... Upgrading the Modem should improve your Download speeds, and *MAY* possibly help to solve your problem... You can exchange your modem for FREE at your local CV Walk-In center.  Your SMC Barricade 7004AWBR Router should be up to the task, as it supports 10/100Mb/s WAN and LAN ports, but checking for an Updated Firmware for it wouldn't hurt, either...  What OS are you running? (Edit): GeekNJ and TheWiseGuy beat me to it... -Tursiops_G. or you can buy one off craigslist.com |

Technically that modem is no longer compatible with OOL and as Geek says you should replace it.
If you open Firefox download manager, there should be a retry link which should restart the download.

You should go to a CV walk-in center and swap that modem for another.
It has been a while since I've seen that router in any post. I can't recall I'd it was limited to 10mb or not, but it is older and I would suggest trying without the router to see if the issue still occurs.

The modem is a SURFboard SB4100 and my router is a Barricade SMC7004AWBR, code version V1.41.004.
I should add that I normally download more than one file at a time. But generally not more than 3 or 4. I guess I can't recall ever losing the connection while I was downloading only one file. I'll research a possible Barricade problem.
Thanks, Bob |

It is not capping. You have other issues. |

If I am downloading a lot of stuff, say several gigs, after awhile my connection just stops. If I unplug my router and modem for a while then it comes back. This is really annoying as the connection may stop after downloading most of several large files. And so far as I know those downloads then have to be restarted from scratch. (I use the Firefox downloader.)
Is this a type of capping or do I have another problem? Note that I do no uploading.
Thanks, Bob |

Seriously now, this thread is over a year old. It's larger than the invite thread in the Filesharing forum. What's the point anymore? Either do a Part 8 or put it out of its misery. |

I have consistently upped information on host playing a never ending game on my xbox 360, the bitrate was probably around 800kbps for around 5 hrs. I get upload clips where my upload dies for a split second, don't think I've ever been capped though. Just enjoy your xbox games and speeds, and ignore the rif raf.
