Connection lost, download progress gone...


Recommended Posts

Seriously, internet cuts off for a second, and 70% of a 700Mb patch just gone, woop...

[ignore] Not just a browser thing, also lost everything loaded in a separate loader for a game. [/ignore]

Didn't help to start the same file from the same place into same download location.

[ignore] Should I make sure everything is torrents from now on? [/ignore]

Hi there.

If this is going to be an ongoing thing with either your ISP or telephone line, get yourself a "Download Manager" installed.[Dont Ignore] [/Dont Ignore]

That will allow you to carry on with the download from where you left off (i.e 70%) and there will be no loss of previously downloaded data. (supports resumable downloads)

There is a nice selection of "Free" ones on this Google page: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=download+managers+freeware&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=9&oq=

"Should I make sure everything is torrents from now on?

Purely a personal choice. I use both, but it's entirely up to you. [Your Choice to Ignore] [/Your Choice to Ignore] :) ;)
