What Mac OS X version with what exact browser (incl. version) do you use?
What kind of internet connection do you have?
Can you point to some of these .rar files as an example?
Have you tried a different browser?

I'm very new to mac. I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8, Using Safari Version 5.1.2 I have comcast. It's high speed. I have tried downloading FireFox last night and that did not work either the file was a bit bigger downloaded to 8kb.

Reset Safari yet?
And do you know what kind of hardware you have to connect to the internet, the hardware between the Mac and the telephone plug? A router and a modem are normally used.

Just tried it and now the file is 2.8kb, I have a motorola SB5120 Modem and I also have the Airport Extreme Base Station wireless thing hooked up to the modem.

Hi, Just turn of temporary Norton's Vulnerability Protection. Then turn it back on after the download started going past 100k.
Tried to get a response from Symantec, but no luck so therefore this workaround.

It helped me.
Because when I turned off Norton it helped me, thats why i thought he may have the same problem. It happened after a recent automatic update of Norton. It can also be googled, as I did, and after a lot of reading there was one post that said to try this, and voila it worked. Lets see if it also works for the OP.
