Downloading 3.5GB dvd image file

[jack// ani]

Hi all,

I'm going to download linux image of 3.5GB, it is written over there....

"When downloading the DVD ISO make sure your proxy and/or your download client support files larger than 2 GB. If the download stops prematurely close to that size (at approx. 180MB), your client most probably does not support large files. If you are using Linux, you can use Konqueror (KDE browser), curl or lftp (lukemftp). On Mac/OS Safari and the default ftp-client should work. If you are using Windows, FileZilla is worth a try."

How to check...my client supports 2GB file size or not? I'm using DAP with DataOne connection running WinXP!!

Any help....

Yes, I think DAP's Latest version supports 4 GB d/ls .. not sure tho..

FlashGet sure does support it

DAP has consistent problems with large downloads. AS QM said, try Flashget or Free Download Manager (*www.freedownloadmanager.org). FDM is same as Flashget, just without the spyware!!

Just do a google on "flashget spyware"

By the way, even DAP is reputed to have spyware!

but DAP has now been cleared of having any spyware.

get www.internetdownloadmanager.com
and forget about all other downlaod managers.
DAP,flashget are nowhere nearer to the quality of IDM.

 

[dIgItaL_BrAt]

Anothe vote for IDM.Simply unbeatable.It's the most reliable download manager.

 

[kalpik]

IDM is really good, but the only thing i dont like about it is the lack of features and options...

 

[choudang]

i like IDman.... good, simple and really fast. i have downloaded 2.5 GB ISO with 4.7 vs

 

[kalpik]

By the way, a new version v5.1 is out!

If we are talking about download managers, lets not forget Mass Downloader, it's even better than IDM and I have used both extensively. I don't kno tho whether it supports over 3 gb files cuz the only time I dl'd over 2 gigs in one filoe was using Bit Comet
