Computer acting funny

Well, im not a real computer wizz, so i'm hoping you guys can help me. This
has been happening for a while, but I don't know whats causing it. I can
only download a certain amount of things on the internet. If I try to
download something that isn't one of those certain things, my isp just shuts
down completely and I lose all my isp connection and have to restart to get
it up and running again. As you can probably see, this is VERY annoying,
fearing if I should dl or not dl. I just can't determine what it is. Any
ideas? Thanks.

Hi

What can you download and what can't you download? With those details,
someone may be able to help you. Do you see any error messages pertaining
to this problem?

For example, I can download warcraft 3 replays off sites just fine, but when I try to download return to castle wolfenstein: enemy territory demos, my isp just freezes and then I gotta reboot. I've tried downloading off different sites too but it's just the same.

Hi

What I meant was - have the files all got the same extensions - .EXE, .ZIP
etc. - or are they varied. These files are downloaded via Internet Explorer
or a Download Manager?
