While listening to Emi Pascuzzo Pete heard:Download Problems

G'day Emi

 EP> I have recently purchased and Xtreama 28800bps external

This sounds like you've only got 8250 or 16450 UART's, under a
multitasker like Windows/Desqview etc they can't keep up with the data
flow. Try using a DOS comms prog running under plain DOS and see if
the problem goes away if so get your UARTS replaced with 16550's
