Disabling Java and Javascript will prevent some websites from displaying properly, but shouldn't cause connection problems.
Playing around with proxy settings, however, might. Are you using a proxy server somewhere or do you have a direct connection to the Internet (several PCs on a router constitutes a direct connection, BTW)?

@p900
The cat5 cable is fine, but the modem cable doesn't look right as it appears to have a phone socket plug at each end.
Your best bet is to buy a good quality standard phone line extension cable, I know that ISP's reckon that you shouldn't use them but I use a twenty meter one with no problems at all.
@temp
I'm not familiar with telewest because it's not available where I live (we have NTL) but usually you don't need proxy settings to connect to an ISP. Wanadoo put some strange proxy settings into IE but removing them doesn't harm the connection at all. However, this might be different for telewest. I think you really do need to contact them about your downloading problem.
BTW, if you've only got one PC, you can't possibly have a local proxy server since a PC cannot be it's own proxy server! Well, it can, but it defeats the object

GAH! Don't use shite like that 
That might explain it if your download is going through their bloody servers! If their servers pack up for no apparant reason, so does your download!

Get yourself a hardware firewall and check your PC for viruses, spyware etc. regularly and you'll be fine!
This is why phishing is becoming more widespread, hackers are having a much harder time getting at your personal stuff due to the recent onslaught of PC security hardware and software that they have to look at other avenues

Microsoft won't release the minimum specs until next summer, however the beta testers were told they needed:
-512 Mb RAM
-A seperate graphics card (not onboard), although I think this is more down to driver support in the early testing stages rather than an absolute requirement
-A 'modern' amd athlon or intel processor.
I suspect that by modern they mean around 1.4Ghz or faster, but it doesn't have to be 64 bit.

yeah, and that'll be enough to show start-up screen. to open start menu you'll need something like p4@3G ;-p
