Delay before download begins

I have about a 30 second delay from the time I click to download to the time the small bar at the bottom of the screen appears asking about saving etc. I just did a fresh reinstall of Win7 partially for that same problem. Things were great, but now about 3 weeks later the delay is back.

I did not see anything in a search. Anyone familiar with this problem?

have you tried a different browser, and which one are you using.

I have been using IE9. Not sure why it would be good 3 weeks ago using IE9 and why it would be slow now with IE9. Does the amount of delay have anything to do with the size of the download file?

So you've tried downloading files from several different sites and it always has a delay now? It's not just with a particular site?

I think it, in fact, does vary by server. I just tried a 137mb download from nvidia and it was no problem at all. Maybe I just hit a bad stretch the last few days.

This worked for me:
(While IE is open) press CTRL-J to bring up the "View Downloads" window.
On the bottom,, press "Clear list"
