Try turning them off or at least lower the security level before you start downloading.

Answer #15
if using AVG antivirus, and I speak of experience :p you have to add your download manager to allowed programs :p it’s usually the same thing with online games
Answer #16
It could be your internet, try giving your isp a ring, see if theres any problems on their side.
Is it just smaller files? (under 100mb) or like all files.
Answer #17
I was not using AVG and I did not try download managers(I really hate them)
I am not using any antivieus, I formatted my PC just 2 days ago
I had only tried smaller files
anyway it is solved now, it seemed to be a problem with finishing the download(saving whatever came from the net)
