Are you talking about your computer or your girlfriends computer?

Really best for her to post her own questions so that nothing is lost via the middle-man.

What download? You need to be a lot more specific about your problems, because so far we're getting a lot of disconnected gibberish.
 
What download is it that keeps stopping? You're doing this on your computer, right? If not try it that way.
