trouble downloading part 2

[Derek Trotter]

I'm using firefox on both computers.  On both I look at the downloads 
window where it shows how much of the file has been downloaded.  On the 
dinosaur that number is always changing.  On the linux box it stops for 
10 to 15 seconds.  Also there's a lit indicator for each machine 
connected to the router. It blinks rapidly when that machine is sending 
or receiving data. There's also an indicator on the dsl modem that 
blinks when data is coming in or going out.  Also iptraf shows nothing's 
happening.
