    Downloads Never Start


    Hello!

    Recently, I started having trouble using Chrome where large files (over 20 or so mb) would not start at all. Nothing would happen, no error messages, nothing.

    At first, I thought it was a problem with Chrome or one of its extensions, so I tried to download the same files on Mozilla, the Internet Explorer. Still, nothing.

    Then, I thought it was a problem with my network, but things like huge torrents, Steam games and Xbox Games download absolutely fine on the same wireless connection.

    I've already tried downloading the latest version of Java Script, and making sure things like AdBlock are turned off, but still, no luck.

    If anyone has any idea what this might be, I would be greatly appreciative if someone were to help me.

    Thanks!

    DO IE and Firefox work okay?

    If yes, uninstall then reinstall Chrome, see if that fixes the problem.
