    You don't have to switch. You can have as many browsers as you want.
    Try to download it on another computer and use USB stck/CD to transfer installation file to THIS computer.

    It might be your anti-virus program detecting something in the file you are downloading...it stops at the 99% to tell you, then waits for you to OK it...I know AVG does this...

    thanks for the help.i actually found this thing called killbox.went to tools and deleted all my temp files and cookies on all the profiles.and it seems to have worked maybe they were just taking up too much space.

    Yes, removing these things (which you can do without any 3rd party program) is one of the steps to troubleshoot your previous problem.
