    Unhappy Chrome Stops downloading File/Doesn't start download

    Hi I'm having a problem with chrome.



    When I download files they sometimes finish but most of the time they usually stop half way or so or don't start at all.

    My Download folder is my desktop. <- Is this a problem?

    Windows XP SP3
    Chrome 4.0.288.1 (dev)

    Please Help.

    Thank You

    I did a little bit of looking around, and I might have found a fix for you. Go to: http://www.google.com/support/forum/...7b1771d6&hl=en and scroll down to the 4th to last comment. The last 4 looks to as they solved it. (The problem they had, Like I said, I have no clue if it will help you, and that was from a while back.)

    @choprock
    Welcome to ChromePlugins

    Changing the location of the download folder

    Go to the Wrench and select Options. | Under the Hood tab
    Scroll down to Downloads
    Uncheck Ask where to save each file before downloading

    May be used as a fix when unable to download a crx

    and clear the cache after a failed download
