Manager, but the download manager keeps throwing the error ' A download was halted before completion. The icon on hte desktop to resume the download launches IE, which in turn re-starts the download If, however, the download manager is closed for any reason, then it's tickets. The ActiveX control kicks in and starts the download, no problem. I can log into the Microsoft partner portal and begin a download (although it forces me to use the Akamai download manager which is frustrating - why not allow your customers/partners to choose their own download managers if they so choose?). I've been getting exactly the same problem, and the cause & symptom seem to be fairly consistent. MSDN support does not take ownership of support problems.

Yea, you guessed it - here I am 5 days later and still no one has contacted me with a solution. They assigned me case number 650 431 384 but after 45 minutes they gave up and said that I should send in a screen dump of the error to and they guarenteed a response in less than 48 hours. I have to add that I tried contacting the MSDN support lines (800) 936 5800 and (800) 759 5474 and after being transferred between 6 operators and being told to 'call the other 800 number' at least 3 times I decided their competencies lay elsewhere.

The download manager has no configuration so I assume it's reading the IE proxy settings. A resumption file was created for your convenience on the Desktop.' My IE6 has proxies properly configured (I'm behind a corporate firewall) and I can browse any web page. The error message provided is 'A download was halted before completion.

0% of the file is downloaded but a 2GB file is allocated in my filesystem en_msdn_library_for_visual_studio_2008_x86_圆4wow_dvd_. I'm trying to download the MSDN library iso image for VS 2008, 'en_msdn_library_for_visual_studio_2008_x86_圆4wow_dvd_X14-29217.iso', and it has an error immediately.
