When I download an update through the control panel, I get a few hundred k and then the download stops. If I quit the download and restart it, the same thing happens again.

I have no problems with other internet activity. However, in the past, I have seen this happen at some other sites, like nvidia.com. I suspect some kind of routing problem at my ISP, but I thought I would ask if anyone else has seen this and fixed it.

I tried downloading directly from apple's web site and I have the same problem. I get about 600k down, and the download stops. This happens with Safari and Firefox.

But it doesn't happen when I download the DMG from a windows machine on the same LAN. Weird.
