    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.

    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.
