Downloading problem

Hello, I hope I put this in the right place. I've never had had any questions like this before, at least since I started playing TW games a few years back.

I've been hoping to try the Broken Crescent mod for MTW2. I only have access to dialup on my gaming computer, so normally I download mods on my wife's laptop using her wireless connection (still rather slowly) then put them on a thumb drive and put them on my computer. This mod is too big to do so, however.

I'm housesitting for someone else with wireless, but with their own router (and much faster). I plugged my computer into the router and took a shot at downloading the mods. However, everytime I try, it just stops downloading after a while. The downloading animation is still working, but numbers (transfer rate, time to download, etc.) do not change. No error message or anything.

I can't figure out what is happening.

My wife's wireless is much, much slower, but it never does this.

Luckily I found they have the mod on file share in some 10 parts, each individually small enough to put on my thumb drive. Worst comes to worst, I can download them seperately at home (probably looking at 5 hours each) and transfer them one by one on the thumbdrive over the course of a week or so. Still, if possible I'd rather do it here at 200+ KB per second, than back home at 3-4.

Any thoughts on what the prblem could be?
