eTrust ez firewall and downloading media

Hi Folks,

I'm using eTrust's ez firewall (free from Road Runner) and been having
a constant problem: when I download large media files
(.pdf .mp3 .mov) the first meg will be downloaded and then the
download will stall (nothing hangs up). When I turn the firewall off
everything downloads normally.

I've tried resetting the security levels on the firewall but didn't
work.

Any suggestions or work arounds?

Thanks.

Best wishes,

Bill

I fail to see the problem. The mentioned software works as expected and
designed. If you don't want your downloads to stall, then don't install any
software that is supposed to stall your downloads.
