can you download with another browser?
how about ftp?
please give us more details:
are you at home/work
firewall
cable/dsl/phone
os
version of IE
anything esle you may think is relevant
----------------------------
a couple things to try in the meantime:

try clearing the cache in IE
Tools--->internet options-->delete files

try upgrading IE

I can dl with Netscape..but it's to d@mn slow FTP is no problems either..I'm running IE 6.0 on XP Pro @ home running RoadRunner Cable with an SMC Barricade7004ABR Router.What's weird is this just started happening all of a sudden.I set all the settings back to default in IE thinking maybe something changed..but that didn't helped either!

It sounds to me that your router may have some problems.
Look through your documentation to make sure everything is set up correctly.
Here is a link in case you do not have it handy. (If acrobat is installed, it will open up within your web browser to display the help documentation)

BishopSix,
It's not my router..I can bypass my router and go straight from my cable modem and it does the same d@mn thing I even reinstalled XP..same thing..hmmm dunno.. maybe time for a reformat??
