Does ADSL ever block dowload and installation of Skype software. I have tried to dowloand and the download ends a second after it starts. I've just downloaded Mozilla Firefox no problem. Can anyone help?

ADSL is a technology and cannot block downloads just like that. Did you try clearing your cache/cookies/etc yet? What is the exact URL you are using to download from? Was it this one? http://download.skype.com/partner/trackable259/SkypeSetupFull.exe

get FDM (www.freedownloadmanager.org) that way it would resume your download. And no, not aware of any adsl service provider blocking skype. probably just a timeout between you terminal and the server that caused the issue...a download accelerator should solve that

what is this doing in this section?
To download - I followed the link from www.skype.com.
If I try to open your link - my browser - both IE and Fireofx shuts down. I installed Windows Oncecare which found trojans etc - and cleaned then checked again - no viruses. What else could be causing this?
No.
