847937 2010-01-11 21:31:00 Could be an addon disable them. Or uninstall it / leave the settings etc there.

Then reinstall it

847938 2010-01-11 21:41:00 You could try finding the demo on torrents. Then you can start and stop as much as you like. xyz823 (13649)
847939 2010-01-11 21:42:00 be really good to get orbit downloader for being on a slower connection. AS long as it allows pause and resume functions. nedkelly (9059)
847940 2010-01-11 21:56:00 can FF even cope with downloads of that size?

i know IE packs a mental with anything over 1.5gb unless they have fixed that recently? so perhaps firefox cant cope with it - if this is the case you could always try a Download manager to look after it for you?

847941 2010-01-11 22:05:00 Ive downloaded a 2 GB file from gameplanet and 4 GB files using FF. No prob at all. Altho The download speed is faster/higher than 256K tho. Nothing wrong with IE. Its probably the site youre getting it from. Try another site / closer mirror Speedy Gonzales (78)
847942 2010-01-11 22:30:00 Use a free program like "Download accelerator Plus". It is multi-source so can usually download a lot faster AND will resume a broken download. Battleneter2 (9361)
847943 2010-01-11 22:33:00 Have a look for the .part file, copy it to another location.
Restart the download from a link, pause or cancel it, copy back the big .part file & resume.

847944 2010-01-11 22:59:00 Use something like DOwnThemAll which supports resuming if a download fails. CYaBro (73)
847945 2010-01-11 23:01:00 not all downloads can be resumed though. nedkelly (9059)
