Free Learning Videos on Express Web Site

I've been trying to view and download the free learning videos for Visual Web Developer Express and Visual C# Express. Of a total of 30 videos, I've been able to view and download 26, but 4 cannot be viewed in their entirety nor downloaded to completion. They are Visual Web Developer #2 and #4 (for C#) and C# Express #12 and #14.

I usually get a "server was reset" error message, but have also gotten a worm alert message on the first file (VWB #2). A friend who uses a different ISP is also getting this same problem at exactly the same places in each file. Each file stops downloading at exactly the same place each time. He also got the worm alert on file #2 at the same place, using different virus scanning software. My ISP (Covad) assures me that it is not them stopping the download due to a worm or other signature.

Any idea what the problem is and how to get around this Thanks.

It is strange that you get a worm alert. The antivirus software you are using are reporting a false positive. It might disrupt the transfer.

You might consider using a download manager to be able to resume the download. I am using http://www.freedownloadmanager.org and it has worked well for me.

I managed to download WVD lesson #2 VB/C# versions without problems.

I too have this problem. Same videos. I am using Norton Antivirus 2--6 which comes with Worm protection.

Got this problem also on a number of the RSS Reader videos in the C# section

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the Free Download Manager you recommended but seem to be getting the same problem, although it appears to have downloaded a bit more of file #2. The worm alert would seem to be a false positive, but it's interesting that my friend and I both got the alert at the same place in the file using different ISPs and different virus scanning software on different machines.

If you have antivirus, firewalls, antispyware running it might have a part in the problem.

To find out if it is the case you will have to temporarily disable those applications.

I have seen other people with problems downloading or doing online installations that got it to work after disabling firewall/antivirus.

I only use the builtin XP firewall and grisoft free antivirus. No download problems and no infections. I think ...
