I've been using DAP and FDM for years, but I've been hearing good things about Flashget and decided to try it out. Last night, I started downloading a 4+ GB file at about 2:45 AM, set it to stop at 7:55 AM (before the end of happy hour) and shut down the computer.
When I got up at noon today, I expected to see the d/l stopped at 7:55 AM with a few hundred MBs still left to go. The computer had shut down, but not at 7:55. The download had continued until it was completed at 8:14 AM.
I guess 4.14 GB (4,342,594 KB) in about five and a half hours (220 KB/s average) is pretty good for a BSNL 2 Mbps connection, and someone else in the family was also doing a torrent d/l on my line at the same time.
But I felt let down by Flashget as it must have bitten a 200 MB chunk out of my 2.5 GB monthly limit during those 14 minutes of non-free time. Any comments or suggestions from experienced Flashget users ?
