That verifying seems to be a problem with your anti-virus.
I may be wrong but assuming you are using Windows and have an anti-virus scanner installed, then the process is likely to be; Download file -> Scan with anti-virus for infection -> release file for you to use.
The anti-virus scanner normally doesn't kick in until the download is complete and all AVs use different terms for their scanning, so I am guessing that "Verifying" is your anti-virus scanner scanning the file after the download is complete.
If so, then there seems to be a problem with your AV scanner. Which one is it, and is it up to date?
Some other thoughts;
1] Do not use Download Accelerators.
2] I seem to remember a Firefox add-on that scanned files as they were downloading against a central database. Not a recognised anti-virus but a new idea. Check your add-ons to see if anything is playing up.
3] For CNET files, use the "Direct Download" link and avoid CNET's Installer file. I can't comment on the 'underzo.it' download.

Hello All!
I hope that I have selected the correct forum for this particular question
. I am trying to download Spacesniffer and Windirstat-both programs for graphically determining hard drive status. All goes well untill I reach the "verifying" window-one downloading from "underzo.it" and one from "Cnet". The windows indicate that the downloads are processing but they seem to go on forever and never coming to completion. After several attempts at trying to down each program I tried once more this time letting the verifying download running. Well, I went to bed and when I awoke, the same window was still running. I have never had this happen before and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I have not tried downloading any other programs so I do not know if this problem would exist on major known downloads Estimated time left,download to and transfer to show no information The folder picture at the top of the windows is static,and not moving to the right as it usually does. Your attion to my problem is greatly appreciated. Tony Z III
