Any program with its own download feature--such as Real Networks, a
download manager like Get Right, Apple's QuickTime--won't download since I
installed Windows XP and SP2. I get a failure to connect to the server every
time.

Just to add - perhaps see if there are any updates to the programs. I had to update
my download manager after updating to SP2.
