(Another Wireless Lan?)Cordless phones will often send a "Ping" to the handset on a regular schedule (every 30-90 seconds) to make sure it's still in range.  Perhaps it's a short enough "Ping" that during normal network usage, you don't notice it intefearing with the network.  During a constant stream of data (like your large download) the inteference knocks the wi-fi out for a second and then it has to reestablish the connection.  VERY noticable when a file is streaming rapidly, then nothing.This is the only reason for the perfect "square wave" type dropout you describe short of a hardware failure.Jerry</blockquote>
