Problem with download?
 
Someone more techie then me help me. For some reason when I try downloading a video or mp3 file, they download like this. And every one I download do this. (Assuming these are all broken files) Any idea what this problem is?

This is on Chrome and I tried other browsers such as Firefox and had no luck. I want to download something asap so please help as much you can. Thanks!

I think I have some possibilities and probably some advices here.

1) Did you find it hard to connect to every site, including in here? If so, sometimes I think that the unstable internet connection (disconnecting at random times) is the cause, in my case, mostly it's the provider's part.
2) Sometimes it's needed to restart the modem, because at times, I was having hard time to connect here until I do just that, due to some connecting derps.
3) I also suggest you to download the internet download manager add-on or any software that manages the download (like Internet Download Accelerator or similar). I do recall some of them have resuming features so you can continue to download where you have left of when the downloading breaks.

I can't guarantee that these methods will work, but I hope this helps.

I would highly recommend not downloading sites' downloader tools. Many of those contain malware, which in turn slow one's computer down.

Have you actually tried opening the files though? That icon could just simply mean that there's no default program set to the particular file type.
