Hi,
You can ease the download pain by using a download manager, if you are not already doing so. Works for 80% of the cases and saves your time and data bundle. The auto resume feature will also reduce your frustration levels.
Kind regards, Bernard

I have been having problems sometimes even when I am downloading, it would just go off without notice making it imperative to restart the download - it really gets to my nerves !

I have been experiencing drops whenever the Safaricom modem changes frequencies eg by moving from UMTS to HSPDA. Also there where 2 days last week that the modem kept disconnecting even when in use. I suspect its a problem on the safcom network side becasue i was experiencing the problem in the same location yet it was not there for other days.

Mickey, you are on point. That is the reason I began by asking whether the area has poor signal (EDGE/3G) coverage. Its very natural that a poorly covered area will lead to call/data drops.
On the other hand, perhaps the problem is local on the OS/ application being used, modem hardware,etc.
You can test by changing modems and/or tether your phone. The ZTE modems were very notoirious on dropping connection on my ubuntu box.
