176296 2003-09-18 22:05:00 I often have trouble downloading fairly large files, say 13meg, from an Internet dial up connection. Often we get to about 10meg and get disconnected which means starting all over again. Now, I’m not sure what is causing the problem, but I do recall either a setting or a programme, which allowed one to reconnect and carry on instead of starting again from scratch.

Can anyone throw a bit more light on this problem?

OS Win98se, Browser Explorer 6, ISP Clear.

176297 2003-09-18 22:15:00 use a download manager such as flashget. homepage here (http://www.amazesoft.com/) tweak'e (174)

176299 2003-09-19 08:43:00 I installed that flashget tweake and blow me down if it didn’t find the 10meg I’d lost prior to its installation and complete the download.

Can’t ask for more than that.

Wouldn’t you think Microsoft would incorporate this facility in their browser?

Thanks also to yang. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind if flashget decides to give me grief.
