Problem Downloading Large emails with Outlook XP?

[Victor]

I've got Office XP SP3 running on a Windows 2000 system. I have an email address that
receives about 20 emails a day.

Over my cable modem I can download my emails normally, and with a healthy cable modem
download bandwidth. However, if one of the emails has a large attachment (recently there
was a 3M attachment), Outlook XP will download that email and then will refuse to
download the rest - it will timeout in downloading the rest of the emails with almost no
download bandwidth! It will then spit out an error 0x800CCC0B.

If I delete the large email at the server, I can download all emails fine.

Any ideas???

Thanks to anyone that can help,

Vic

Also, I don't know if this makes any difference, but I have the Slovak Attachment
Options Add-in installed.

I don't think the addin matters, but you can disable it and try downloading
to see if it helps - tools, options, other, addins.

I just verified, it's not the add-in.

I read that purposively this was fixed in a service pack, but it actually wasn't.

purposively = supposively
