   Have tried a lower MTU. The NIC is integrated in the MB, and I do not   
   think it is the problem since the error I am getting is "TCP WINDOW   
   ZERO" and the download does work in safe mode. Problem does not occur on   
   other computers on the same router. Bandwidth tests pass OK   
      
   Have tried turning off all the startup programs, firewall, AV, no luck.   
   If I pause an Itunes download, wait 5-10 seconds, and restart, the   
   download will continue. Same thing with streaming video. Seems as if the   
   OS is not unloading the TCP buffers fast enough for the link. RWIN is   
   set to 19K, 50 receive buffers allocated.
