In reply to Purushottam Latey. Kaspersky and Malwarebytes both are good. I use this combo too.

I had also the same issue that I was unable to download anything whether it is mp3 file, or zip file or .exe file. Finally I found solution for my PC. Once I installed Internet Download Manager and after few days it stopped working. After that I was unable download anything. Now, after so many days I realized that it could be because of IDM. So, I uninstalled that… Fnally, Now I can download everything.

is this still happening to anyone? I’m on a fresh windows 7 install and none of the ideas worked… my problem is not related to a single browser, as the problem has appeared across IE, chrome, and (if applicable here) the steam browser.

It’s not giving me any kind of error, just giving the the progress as 0 / (file size) and never downloading anything no matter how much time passes.

I fixed this with “Fix problems with windows update” in control panel under System and Security
