I'm having trouble downloading pictures on my PC. Every time I try, the download shows that it's complete at 100%, but it doesn't actually finish—just stays at 0 B/s. I've tried several solutions, including turning off my PC, deleting cookies, and even using different browsers like Opera GX and Microsoft Edge, but nothing seems to work. I recently attempted to download a small 60KB PNG image from Google Images, but that also got stuck. What steps can I take to fix this problem?

It sounds like your download might be interrupted due to a few reasons like disk issues or potential network throttling. If it's stuck for long periods, leaving it isn't going to help much. Try checking your disk activity and see if that might be causing the hang-up. Sometimes antivirus programs can also hold up downloads until they're fully scanned, so that's worth considering too.
Since you've tried a lot already, start by ensuring your antivirus isn't blocking your downloads. You could also reset your network settings by opening Command Prompt as Administrator and running 'ipconfig /flushdns' followed by 'netsh winsock reset' and then restarting your PC. Another tip is to change your DNS settings to Cloudflare's. Just go into your network properties and set your DNS to 1.1.1.1 for the preferred and 1.0.0.1 for the alternate.
Instead of downloading, have you thought about just taking screenshots of the images? It's a quick workaround if you're looking for PNGs since downloading can be hit or miss with your current setup.
