Lost connection to the server
-If your connection between your computer and the server where you're downloading the file from is interrupted or lost it will cause your download to fail. This is not a problem with your computer or Internet connection but a problem with the other computer or the connections in-between.

- You may be blocked by a firewall that is not allowing downloads, read the documentation that is provided by your firewall ( software or hardware ) to alleviate this situation. If your computer is on a network that is controlled by someone else ( i.e. at work ) , downloads may be blocked by your network IT.
