That's really strange ... but as:

R> The problem exists with TB, becky & Outlook and multiple pop servers.

it seems to be a general network congestion problem with your system
connected to the Internet via your broadband connection.

R> Using W2k (Prof) on a PIII with 128 MB RAM.

Some days ago somebody wrote something similar but he was using a 56k
modem. IIRC he also used W2K Pro. So it seems there's some option in
W2K that causes this behavior.

We need to break down as exactly as possible what's happening if your
mail download hangs.
What exactly does happen if you try to download a mail larger than
15k? does the download star and stops suddenly? Does it never really
start? As you're connected through broadband I guess the connetion
between you and the cable modem is done via Ethernet cable? If so,
does the light at your NIC stays flashing when download stops? does it
suddenly interrupt and nothing seems to happen? What if you try to
surf while downloading? Does this work or is there some general
network congestion/blocking?

At least you can try to get used with a packet sniffer like [1] ,
direct download URL [2]. You'll also need [3] or [4].

R> Any suggestions / pointers would be really welcome.

Hope some of my accomplishments help to find the culprit.
