    Hi Daphne, thanks for the input!

The download would stop, but I wasn't getting the error 79 message this time. Instead, I received a network error message, and was able to resume the download. This happened one more time, but I was  able to restart the download, and eventually recieved the whole file intact.  I'm guessing this issue is related to downloading large files wirelessly, but I can't be sure. My desktop is too far away from my modem to try a wired download.  The good news is, I was able to get the whole file down. Thanks again!
