Could possibly be low disk space on your "c" drive

Nah that isn't it I have plenty of gig space left. I could literally download a 700MB file right now no problem but anything 9 plus and I get that could not be read ****.

Check your c drive just for ****s n giggles cause when you DL it creates a temp file on there. Just want to eliminate that possibility...

Firefox

This error can occur after pausing and then resuming a download. Try downloading large files in a single step, without pausing. (It is possible that your security software is scanning and locking the file, which may still be in the system temporary folder after you pause the download. If Firefox can't access the file then resuming the download will fail.) [2]

If you are using a Firefox extension to manage your downloads, try disabling the extension via "Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions". [3]

Another possible solution is to close Firefox completely and delete the "compreg.dat" file from the Firefox profile folder. [4].

Note: The source file could not be read error occurred in older Firefox versions if the history.dat file was set to "read-only" (bug 315020). [5][6] The "history.dat" file is no longer used in Firefox 3.

The file you are trying to download has been deleted.

How do I get to the FF profile folder?

No I am not computer illiterate but I still am a tad bit confused as it pertains to that.
