My problem is - when I try to download a file from my storage via web it hangs and stops with the timeout.

Tried to use different browsers - FF, Opera, Chrome - nothing changes.

Any ideas why does this happen? Does someone suffer from this issue too?

Thanks.

Does your download get partially through and then quit? Or is it hanging from the start? – SaultDon Mar 28 '12 at 18:20

That happened to me once because my download folder was in a NTFS partition. Try to save the download to your personal folder.

it is hanging from the start. Well, i'd rather say that it does not even start – Kulp Mar 29 '12 at 16:26
