what is it that you are trying to download? You mentioned Messenger, which one?
What sort of internet connection do you have? Cable/DSL/Dialup?
Do you get any error messages when you try to download? What are they?
Could you name a few places from which you cannot download or even the file names, and three letter extension (.abc) of the file.
