    I was having trouble downloading the program from Windows 8.1 and, without my account was making a big mistake for which I did not lose the program and I went out the error code 0x80240031 and this was my big mistake ... if you try to download Windows 8.1 using your cell phone as a modem, YOU CAN'T NEVER DOWNLOAD tHE PROGRAM AND YOU'LL HAVE THE ERROR CODE. If you use a regular connection (such as DSL or normal) may download the Windows 8.1 without any problems.

    yes its the internet provider problem. 

    What does that mean?  The ISP is caching the file?  Incompletely?  Obsoletely?  Perhaps you could have tried using HTTPS instead.   No caching possible then.
