Hi Denny, Not sure if you've resolved the download issue with your friend's PC or not but here is something to consider. If he is using a wireless connection, Windows may be dropping the connection to the internet.
Windows has a service called "Windows Zero Configuration". This service will disconnect and reconnect your wireless connection periodically in order to find a better connection, sounds good but can be annoying. You can disable this service by doing the following run command once you have a good wireless connection. 1. In Windows, Start > Run... 2. <Type> net stop wzcsvc <press enter> Just something to try.
