Problem with IE 9 Download Manager

2

I just noticed that since Windows Update auto downloaded a new update for the latest version of Internet Explorer 9, the built in download manager stops downloading videos (any video, from any site) at around 97%.

And, upon clicking cancel, it doesn't really cancel it. It appears to have cancelled it, but later when I download a program or a file or something, it says 3 (for example) downloads remaining. But there's only one download in the list.

Has anybody else had this problem with IE9?

How can I "reset" the IE9 Download Manager, or "reset" IE9 without uninstalling (preferably)?

1I faced the same thing. When launching any Citrix application, it shows downloading the connector and then stays indefinitely at 99%. Does not clear even after clearing the download list. – Mayank – 2011-04-11T06:36:07.750

(I'm not sure "Problem with" is a good summary, @Mayank, but at least it's less of a rant indeed so still thanks for that edit! Ah, you edited the question too. Good!) – Arjan – 2011-04-11T06:51:03.987

1"Problem with" is best used in this case I believe, since the actual "problem" is not clear, and the "problem" occurs in different situations. So, if you want a title the is more relevant and descriptive, it'll be about 5 pages long... – user32309 – 2011-04-11T07:03:08.253

Try disabling your anti-virus for testing, as the download may be sitting at 97% percent while the file is being scanned. Videos can be very large and if the anti-virus is scanning them it could take a while for the download to completely 'finish'.

You also may want to check out the Windows' Resource Monitor while a problem download is hanging, as it may tell you what's going on.
