Hey!
I have been trying to download Trinity Desktop: Ubuntu Maverick.
But Google Chrome will only download 20 MB or 200 MB of the file.
When it stops, it doesnt come up with an error or anything, it looks like its completed the download infact. But how I know that it has not done the full download is that fact that this is a 600MB file.

Help!

Maybe the files corrupted? I have had similar problems with corrupted files. Also perhaps try another browser?
Have you tried clearing your browser history?

Can you download it with a download manager? I use "Free Download Manager" it is freeware and it is great at handling broken downloads and resuming them... assuming of course that the server with the file you want supports resuming; most do. The default download feature with Firefox is crap, don't know about Chrome.
