By far, the wisest course for the intelligent Internaut is to abandon Microsoft Internet Explorer entirely, putting its multitudinous security holes, truncated downloads, cache pollution, and eccentric rendering of standards-compliant pages behind them and upgrade to a secure, compatible, and reliable browser such as:.

Not only are these utilities immune to the problem of silently truncated downloads, if something does go wrong during a download, they are both able to resume the download at the point it was interrupted without having to download the portion of the file you have already received; this can be a life-saver when downloading large files on slow dial-up connections which are prone to dropping out at random times.
