Default GA-K8N Pro-Sli downloads corrupting

Hi there,

I have just put myself together a pc with spec as:
Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro Sli mobo
AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+
Evga Geforce 7800 GT (PCI-E)
2x 160GB Seagate Barracuda 9 sata2 (raid stripped)
2GB PC3200 (2x1GB)
Levicom 550W ATX PSU
Samsung DVDRW

running windows XP home Ed.

After a lot of struggling to get the raid installed and system booting
up to more than an immediate blue screen and restart. (I've seen this
problem about on these groups with these mobos).

Now I can connect to the internet and browse, use messenger etc, but
when I try to download any files they always get corrupted.

Can anyone help?

Are you using Active Armor (Nvidea Firewall)?
If so turn it off / uninstall

Yes - as I switched it off downloading was fine.

Was it set up wrong or is there basically something wrong with Active
Armour /Nvidia Firewall?

Thanks for your help.

I had exactly the same problems with the nvidia firewall corrupting
downloads, the fix for me was to download the very latest nvidia mobo
drivers...... works a treat now!!
