IE Downloads stop...I need help.

[cidion]

I have ADSL here in Australia.

I'm using Netspace for those who care.

-----------The Problem------------
In Internet Explorer, I will attempt to download something. Like Netscape 6, or the developer package from Apple (reputible FTP servers) and after a little while, the Download stops, and it says "waiting for data" right now, it's been "waiting for data" for about 5 hours, after it started out at 55k/s.
-----------The Problem------------

I have a proxies set up as Netscape (the ISP) has suggested. like this:

FTP proxy : proxy.netspace.net.au PORT 8080
Web Proxy : same
Secure web proxy : same

I'm using an Alcatel Speed Touch USB modem, and I have removed the dockling that alcatel installs.

I am using Carracho, and I can sustain data transfers for hours at a time.
But not if I'm using IE.

it's a REAL PAIN!

Any ideas?
