Downloads petering out

I see a lot of download issues in this sub-forum, most of them dealing with errors or download managers, perhaps my problem has been addressed before.I have no problem starting the download, but I'll be damned if can't get these PSX isos to finish the progress bar stops and all the status numbers on the download page disappear, I guess the servers could burdened with other downloads, and I wouldn't really have an issue with it I suppose if multiple downloads of the same file doesn't put another dent in my points. As it stands, I've attempted to download in vain: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Rival School, King of Fighters 95' just in case it's relevant.Other crap:
Using Firefox
Downloading from US Servers
Not using Download Managers
Running uTorrent, but my download is currently unseededShould I just get a download manager?

Yes, resuming a download will not require points, so if you get a standards compliant download manager like FlashGet then it shouldn't take points again.
