Also, I just thought I should add that when the downloads cut off, the network icon on my taskbar doesn't change to say that I'm disconnected from the internet.  I'm assuming that it means I'm still connected to the internet but my downloads are just hanging or dropping for some reason.  It also takes just a little longer to load pages when that happens.  Thanks in advance for your help everyone :)

Yes, I'm connecting wirelessly and using Firefox if that helps.

I went to the device manager and chose to update all my network adaptors, is that right? It says all my drivers are updated.

Not only do the downloads stop soon after starting, but I noticed that the internet is very slow compared to the other laptops in the house using the same wireless network.

look in device manager and note the name of your wireless card after which click on the link below and under network you will find the latest available dell drivers for your card.
