43508 2002-04-12 21:33:00 I am using IE6 (problem aslo occurs using IE5 on different machine at different location) to download a 54Mb file fr0m HP.com, over a modxem 56k connection.

I leave the machine to complete the download over night. When I check the machine in the morning, there is a dialogue boxing saying the download is complete... but only a % of the file has been downloaded (generally 12-20 Mb).

How can I get this file?

Thanks for your help.

43509 2002-04-12 23:18:00 Personally i ve had this happen to me afew times as well so i find a good idea is to use a download accelerator program which checks to see how much of the file is downloaded. I am currently using Mass Downloader from www.metaproducts.com which lets you resume uncompleted files and open zip files at their end and select only the components u want to download I used to use getright but found some difficulties with its segmented downloading style hope this helps they also tend to speed up the downloads as well good luck Guest (0)

43511 2002-04-13 07:03:00 my friend had a similar problem as he downloaded Winzip 8.1 and the file was zipped! Just have a look out on the PCworld CD's or e-mail scott bartley and see if he is putting an accelerator on either Imag or PCWorld Cd's soon Guest (0)
