Ethereum Wallet technical issue

[Cryptic_crumb]

Can anyone tell me why the Ethereum wallet I am struggling to d/l is stopping so many times? It is so annoying, I am getting it gradually downloaded in little bits but it keep on stalling after a few minutes on average, sometimes going on a bit longer. I am up to 1.6 M blocks but its going to take a couple of days more at this daft rate. Have been keeping it on overnight but it doesn't go any further than it would have done when it stops a few minutes after starting operations. Does anybody know why this is? What is wrong with Ethereum?? Totally miffed
