    I bought a new computer over the holidays and in trying to make my own Windows 7 DVD before it arrived I encountered quite the problem. On my Vista Home Premium(with service pack 2) laptop I currently use, I am unable to download any .ISO files from Digital River. Whenever I click any mirror or version 32/64bit, Firefox and IE sit at a blank page with the status circle spinning away, but then I am disconnected from the internet. Both on wireless and wired connections after around 30 seconds of opening the download link, my network status changes from Local and Internet to just Local and in some cases just Limited Connectivity. Oddly enough when I try to download any number of different files everything works out just fine, but on the .ISO's the connection fails even before the download window comes up.

    Any help is much appreciated, nike
