What could cause downloads to stop or stall at 90% or so?
We've got 2 bonded T1s at work and we're seeing some really weird issues. So far AT&T has been unable to help. What happens is that downloads from many different sites all just kind of peter out at 40 or 90%. If I try to restart them they'll either do the same thing or the download rate will say something like 700 bytes/sec.
According to bandwidth tests we still have a lot of bandwidth so it doesnt seem bandwidth related. This seems to have started after we got the 2nd T1. AT&T says the line is okay. Unfortunately, we dont have any nice networking equipment that gives reports or anything. Nor do I have admin rights to the router.
Has anyone experienced such a thing? Or perhaps make suggestions to try other things? DSL reports tests report a good line. MTU seems fine too.

What kind of download? If it's bittorrents, the problem is usually malicious fake seeders, and I'll talk about it more if you confirm.

Response by poster: Its the 18 meg file on this page:
http://downloads.qliktech.com/qvwebdownloads/Release8.asp
But its been other stuff like download.microsoft.com, youtube, etc. I can RDP to my home machine and download this file fine, but here at work it gets stuck at exactly 90%
Nope, no torrents. All these downloads are http.

NVIDIA's hardware firewall used to cause similar problems for me.
