The last few weeks I have been experiencing a problem with my internet downloades that are driving me crazy. 99% of my downloads, regardless of P2P or specific site files, are corrupted or have CRC errors. I have DSL with USB modem, so I moved it to a new slot to see if that would fix the problem; it didn't. I have disconnected and reconnected to my provider to see if it was a connection issue, but again no change. Has anyone experienced a similar problem or have any suggestions. Thanks.

I would suggest you first check for virus with a good anti-virus software with the latest update.

And have a line test done. Sounds like your incoming data is getting fragmented.
