Title: Downloading
Post by: Bjorn on February 15, 2002, 01:55:52 AM

I have tried to download the 272 Mb ISO-file of the SME-server but it stops when it is about 15% letf to load. I don't know why. Is there any other way to download with the big file divided into several smaller files or what do I do? The download speed was about 500 kbit/s.

Title: Download accelerators
Post by: Hugo Sviercovich on February 22, 2002, 01:11:44 AM

Well, my friend. What i could advise to you is to use a download accelerator, that is, software that will certainly at first decrease the downloading time by using several downloading threads for the same file, but secondly, the next main purpose of these kind of programs is that if somehow the download is broken, it retries to download from the exact point it was left on the last time (depending if the server you're downloading from is set up to use ftp's reget). So you wont have to start over again time after time.

My suggestion on the software (for this is the one i use) is Flashget (www.flashget.com) or perhaps GetRight. Don't worry, there  are several places you could download this kind of software from.

Hope this helps.

Take care and have a nice and fast downloading this time =)
