I'm trying to download the most recent version of wireshark but get a 0kb non-executable file. Any ideas what the problem might be?

What URL are you using to download? Have you tried browsing the download area at http://media-2.cacetech.com/wireshark/?

Gerald,

Thanks for responding, I originally tried to download from Wireshark and I have tried your suggestion and still get 0KB file.

Do you have any antivirus software in place or a proxy server that might interfere with the download? Can you download from ftp://ftp.wireshark.org/?

eelarry,

Thanks for responding. I tried downloading a download manager and got a 0kb file so the problem seems to be a more general one. I've tried a number of other application downloads and got the same response. Documents (e.g pdf) download o.k. Since this isn't specific to wireshark, I'll start looking elsewhere
