os2fan2 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I use a free-download-manager.I have done a number of 250k downloads (usp5, usp5.1, autopatch2000, autopatchxp). In the main, it can run on a low prioity stop-start while you answer emails and message boards. I have a 80mb download running in the mo.W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I recommend FlashGet download manager v1.50 (NOT the newer versions, they tend to consume more memory).Largest file I've downloaded through dial-up was ~730Mb. Average speed 6.2Kb/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemonforce Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 The largest file I've downloaded over dial-up was a 2.5GB DVD image. I still use dial-up because nothing better is available around here.To this day I have gathered roughly 600GB of data off the Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

os2fan2 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 For those curious, i use http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ proggie, v 1.9. You can start-stop things with it, and it does one after another.W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
