Browser hangs half way through downloading


ASUS M2N-E ; RAM 2GB ; NVidia 8400GS 512MB

Using Ubuntu 8.04 or Fedora 9 and either Firefox 3 or Opera, hangs in the middle of downloading page - for example, start page of Newegg.

Same setup using XP with Firefox -> no problem.

This will probably be really tough to figure out. I think you should download several different "live" distributions, and try them until you find one that works right on your system.
