| Downloads Timing Out
Everytime I download something over 5mb the download times out. I dont download music or movies, but there are some programs that I try to download for college and free applications/messengers that are fairly large. I have to get friends to download them and bring them to me. Downloading large files was part of the reason I wanted sat instead of dialup.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? |

| I don't think it has anything to do with WildBlue. I just downloaded a 80MB file with no problem. Maybe if you would post a bit of information about your setup someone here could help you. Have you called customer service? Who do you have your WB service through?

Yes, please provide more information about your setup and/or any other problems you may have with your system. I have downloaded +2GB files (Garmin maps) without a glitch, so it's not a WildBlue issue.

| I am running windows Vista on laptop. I am using a belkin wireless router. I am using avg free antivirus and a no software firewall because of the router. I have major latency issues at times with websites loading up and any download over 3 or 4 mbs it times out. I have installed the wildblue optimizer. |

What model and version? |

I've downloaded a 12 GB tar.gz file over wildblue without issue! (that used 70% of my monthly fap in one go, so I was glad it worked without flaw.) |

Which spot beam are you using? Your problem could be related to bad weather at your place or at your gateway. If you do not know, I can probably figure it out from your ZIP code or the name of a nearby town and your state.

Try by passing your router for an experiment
Connect the WB modem directly to a computer and repeat trying to download those problem files
Bet you discover that your Belken router is the problem, as Basilar also suggested |

For starters bypass the Belkin router as mentioned by others since some models have problems with WB. If you still have problems do a string of 20 or so of pings to see if you are getting a lot of timeouts. If your showing of packet loss it's time for a call to CS. Could be anything from a bad modem to just needing your dish repointed. Where and how is you dish mounted?

Try a download manager they will allow you to resume most broken downloads. I prefer GetRight but any will do.
