are you using a download manager like getright, DAP or orbit?

I seem to have the same problem. I'm not using a DL manager though. I've even tried running continuous pings while downloading - pings continue but download stops as if it's complete.
I have a sneaky feeling its MWEB.

My dad also complained about this same thing yesterday when wanted to update his Nokia software.

You should get FDM (Free Download Manager) or jDownloader (also free) if you want to download anything bigger than 1MB. jDownloader is quite impressive, since it can queue and download files from websites like RapidShare, MegaUpload, etc. even if you don't have a premium account.

Down loads => *Downloads...

I Have a download manager but when updating some programs it bypasses the down manager ?

Yes, unfortunately when the application updates itself, it would not make use of your download manager applications.
Some applications have quite clever download managers included, but this is very rare.
