It ended up being a download speed problem over a dodgy link (dropouts and other poor signal quality issues). both solutions proposed worked once I moved to a better location. This is a local problem for any upload/download for files of moderate to large size. some small files strike it lucky and get through on one or two tries. Live streaming does not work either, so I'm told. Glad I was just visiting. Was a very unhappy novice dropboxer when confronted with the problem, but now liking it more!

I'm glad that it works out well for you.
Happy Dropboxing
