Help Please, New to Linux, searched Forums and tried several things but nothing has worked.
Below is a little about my system
I seem to be able to browse web pages, BUT, I can't download anything.
If I try to download a file like Flash Player, the Download hangs.
Windows computers are able to download files just fine.
Here is a link to an image which shows what I'm talking about.
I started the download twice which explains the 2 spikes in the SysGuard image.
Adept Package Manager downloads STALL and eventually fail after 2-3 minutes.
I can fetch an update list..but the actual updates stall/hang after about 3-4 items download, the 4th or 5th one will hit 12-32% and just HANG -- eventually after 3 minutes - Adept gives up and displays a generic error message of some sort.
I've tried varying my MTU settings in interfaces.conf from 1000 to 1492 as one forum posting suggested -- No change
I've tried adding my ISPs NameServer to Resolv.conf as suggested by another posting.
I've verified that I DON'T have a firewall turned on in KUbuntu by trying verifying that a firewall doesn't show up under the Internet App section.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

- Driver issue? -- if so, I can't update or download new drivers from within Linux, I'll have to do it via Windows I guess
Configuration issue? - Please give detailed description since I'm a Noob.
Could the Server I'm DOWNLOADING from not like the high latency 1000-1200ms latency of my satelite connection?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
There are a lot of nice people here, I'm sure someone will help you out in due time.
