ok,so im on a slow network and im downloading a 1.4 gb file at average of 49-50 kb/ps

anyways another person who i wont give details on has just gone being "*** the wise" and turned of my comp by the powerpoint thinking "oh it saves power" great so the fucker got to 1.1gb downloaded and bang,it was a waste of fucking time,i only sat up like 4 hours waiting and then decided to run an app that would shutdown the pc a bit after the dl was complete,anyone else have "hereoes" that do this to ya,"oh oh i know,i save 60 cents by turning everything of at the powerpoint""wow arent i a fucking genious"

anyone else had this one happen?

It`s easily solved - no one comes in my room, no one touches my shit.
I currently run at least two machines 24/7 and another 2 machines run a good portion of the time - it barely affects the power bill. I've compared month statements and by law our power commission has to give us our statistics.

Solution: Add a "do not touch" sign to your equipment and assert severe repercussions if it`s not obeyed. I suggest talking to Swan about repercussions, he is the master at punishment.

nah im pretty good at being a "punisher"

actually you need a download manager, one that will resume the download where it left off.
Shutting off the computer via the on/off button or unplugging it risk losing data and even some windows settings like the desktop image.

Same here, I had a lock on my door, and frequently yelled at people to discourage them from visiting unannounced. Thats the worst thing you could do to our friendship - unannounced visits. Thats when the guns come out and I start talking like the end scene of the movie Scarface, Say hello to my little friend!

I am confused, you pull guns on people you know and I assume by being in your house, care for just a little?

ummm ,i have several dl managers,but because this host wont let you use file pausing etc,useless

best dl manager is meta products mass downloader;) imo

the object is to discourage UN-announced visits. I got no problem with friends that respect my space and call before dropping by.

You are not allowed to drop by.

good point, some DL managers will not work.
mass downloader is a pay software, did you find a crack?

Otherwise try these DL managers

Wget

(Command line download manager)
Command line lovers who want to cron their downloads want Wget, a highly hackable command line program that can perform all sorts of difficult downloading tasks, like mirror an entire web site, automatically download music or movies from a set of favorite weblogs, or transfer huge files painlessly on a slow or intermittent network connection.
Written in portable C, Wget can be easily installed on any Unix-like system and has been ported to many environments, including Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, OpenVMS and AmigaOS.

whatya got stashed dnr? bad dnr smoking weed eh

rofl @ Don't lead the cops to my house! Head to the Berville Hotel and crash there!

no crack needed for their current version

cause i think there is a bug,all other versions upon expiring wont let you use it at all

this version how ever when you click close on the dialog when it expires,doesnt kill the program,just the dialog

mass dl is great,i used to be able to get almost twice the speed on my dads network

usually 300-400 kbps but with that i some times got 6-700 kbps :p

mind you though it isnt that effective on this current connection
lol

use u-Torrent.. you can start and stop the download as many times as you want, ive been downloading something and hit the reset button on my pc in the middle of the download a few times with no problems. You just go back into u-torrent and press start download and it continues from where you were at

their are some good firefox download managers for free also on their site, if you are downloading direct from a site and not useing a torrent

so does mass downloader,but personally i hate p2p,its crap if u ask me

Still_Learning · Post by **Still_Learning** » 30 Nov 2008, 10:52

why would you consider p2p crap? is it slower then useing a mass downloader? what do you prefer ftp? (i was getting 500 kbps the other night with utorrent)

rhysh · Post by **rhysh** » 30 Nov 2008, 17:46

mass dl isnt a p2p app,its a download manager

get it at m

Code: Select all

http://metaproducts.com/mp/Mass_Downloader.htm

its pretty fast compared to most dl managers,fastest ive seen anyways

p2p isnt that good imo because it can be very slow,and there is to many trapped(anti-p2p) torrents,junk files to and also for like every gig u download,you also upload like 1-1.5 gig,which uses ur dl limit

anyways thats why i said what i said

Still_Learning · Post by **Still_Learning** » 30 Nov 2008, 18:01

yeah i checked it out at download.com, i dont have too many good ftp lists or sites that i would use it for compared to the ease of p2p that i have been useing. I've been looking into usenet but heard it was pretty much dead.
