Title: Download Parts?
Post by: Excalibur on May 24, 2007, 11:56:34 pm

I want to download the base pack 3.2 for this project, but I don't have enough time - I'm using the school's internet (my one at home is dailup) and the school's one is about 30kbps (capable of over 100kbps).
Would it be possible to break the download into 50MB parts? Otherwise it will take over 2 hours, and I don't have that much free time.

Help appreciated - thanks in advance.   BTW, i'm really looking forward to playing this, the screenshots look awesome!!!

If any of the mirrors supports resuming the download with a download manager (GetRight and similar) you may download the entire package partially ...

He won't have software installation rights. The best solution is to get a friend with broadband to download it and burn a CD. Or alternatively find an internet cafe with broadband and CD burners in the machines, download it and burn yourself a CD. It'll be 1,000,000x easier than trying to download it at school.

Install Flashget at home, then copy the 'Flashget' directory onto a usb drive, run it from there.
I downloaded TBP on dialup, really slow but really worth it!  :D

Meh, use Free Download Manager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org) instead... no spyware!  (If Flashget doesn't have spyware, please correct me, I used to use that program & liked it, but got spyware with it too... maybe bad download?)

Flashget is now freeware (no adware). Free Download Manager isn't bad either, but i prefer Flashget.

Ah, when did they change it?  IIRC, v4.00 had ad-ware.
