So, I am trying to download this large file (Is around 30 MB a big file?), and the last time I tried it took 45 minutes. This is actually fine by me, because at least I would be able to get it downloaded. My Internet is currently working, I have no Anti-Virus currently enabled, my OS is Windows Ten, and I'm using the latest version of Firefox.

For smaller downloads, it shows the amount of time left (usually less than a megabyte). The last computer, like I said, downloaded it with no problem (except it took 40 minutes, but it was because of my horrible internet at the time). All the download says is "unknown time remaining". Does this mean that it's just going to be a corrupted download?

If you're implying that I have two accounts, then I didn't know. I apologize.

No. ideato wants you to create a new profile to see if the problem is still there.

Use these links to create a new profile. Use this new profile as is. Is the problem still there?
