When they show graphic deaths on network TV, such as a man getting blown across a yard in a mail bomb. Kind of ironic that CSI showed that while I was on this post.
Any decent download manager will have a “resume download” feature that
allows it to pick up where it left off.
Have you tried one like Download Accelerator?
Oh, and Don’t you hate it when…
Someone steers your post in an unwanted direction?
Sorry, unintentional.[/quote]
I know, i have download accelerator, but a lot of “good” sites have started using good ol’ click here to download which links you to some php link and it you try to download it it says it’s a webapge and only 3 bytes?
And then there’s those sites who don’t “support” resuming.
Or Fileplanet that requires a password that expires 5 minutes after you get it.
…when you’re ignored? (happens to me all the time)
EDIT: I don’t mean getting ignored here at elYsiun. I wouldn’t even think of putting it that way. Usually at school and any other public place are where I am ignored all the time. Sorry if I made anybody think otherwise.
Yeah, not much you can do there but hope you don’t loose the connection.
With dsl it’s not really a problem for me now, but when we first got online
we had all the classic issues. We had a 486 Pacard Bell, a 14.4k baud modem, and a free copy of AOL
We were lucky to GET on, let alone stay on. We tried to download POVRay. It took 15 hours (after several reconnects) and naturaly the files were corrupt.
…you see a thread titled “Don’t you hate it when…”, and realise that it IS so much easier to focus on the negative than the positive, and it IS much more interesting to know what other people’s problems are.
I am, by nature, a sarcastic person…so…if this topic was named “Don’t you love it when…” responses (such as theeth’s Don’t you love it when
you have a nice download using bittorent but half the pieces fail the hash test ) would be much easier to laugh at .
…with that it mind…don’t you love it when your foot falls asleep after sitting through a long lecture, and you stand up, and the only choices are to fall to the floor…or catch yourself using the young girl that was seated next to you?
it’s a good thing that she was very understanding…
