Downloads only break halfway under a couple of circumstances.

Are you using some kind of application to download the download for you? getright, etc.

When is the last time you scanned for ad-ware and viruses on your computer?

What kind of internet connection do you have?

This information would assist us in helping you answer this question.

Today,i updated my anti-virus soft and scanned for viruses,and try to download with

getright and none getright.Both broke halfway.

The internet connection is cable modem.When downloading the TGEA,speed of single

thread is 5~15 KB/s.
By the way,i saw text as below:

Torque Game Engine Advanced 1.0.2
Estimated Download Time:
18 min on Cable/DSL or 2.0 hours on 56K Modem
NOTE: This link will expire in 15 minutes.

"NOTE: This link will expire in 15 minutes." What does it mean?Is this why i can't

complete the download? 15 minutes are too few to complete the download.

Looking forward to your help. -_-

Ok. you answered the question about Viruses but not the one about adware.

It search for adware you need something like SpyBot with its TeaTimer and HiJackThis.

You will also need some knowledge on how to use both applications. When used in combination they can remove all kinds of stuff. Teatimer can stop registry changes and HiJackThis can remove the issue. Using both will allow you to get rid of stuff that is stopping your computer from functioning properly.

The 15min expire thing is so you don't post a link to the download on a forum somewhere so everyone can download the builder. If you are connected and downloading I do believe it would not kick you.

I downloaded TGB 1.5.1 without any issues. I do not know why a previous version is giving you issues at this point.

Finally,i used some tricks to complete the download.
I used the Flashget.When current download broke,i get a new file-url from "My Account" page.Then modify the url of current download task,continue the download.
Thanks for your help.
