Large Download Failures

Started having issues today in trying to download several larger files >500 megs (incl. Windows 8 Developer Preview) from different web sites. File partially downloads and error received is "XXX filename could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server Administrator"

Since I've tried downloading from several different, unrelated sites, I do not think this was an issue at the far end. If anyone has any insight into this, I would appreciate it. Running Windows 7 Ultimate, conx to internet through Verizon provided router (802.11n) and have never had this issue beofre today.

Thanks,

Did you try using a wired ethernet port rather than wireless?  Would probably be a much faster download too.
