Flashget problem

[SE><IE]

I was downloading Adobe acrobat professional (from adobe.com ofcourse), after the download was completed 41%, it just stopped downloading it. It started showing the files with a X.
I tried starting it again and again but the stats show:
File size already changed
Error occured!
Please note that I just paused the download for appx 10 mins. and hencefoth the problem.
The file still resides and has a ".exe.jc" extension. Is there any way I can recover it from the point I lost it (i.e. 41%)


PS: Is massdownloader free? (esp @ prof)

U can try 2 things, But I'm not sure whether it'll work or not!

1.) Tools -> Options, in General tab, uncheck the option Get File Date & Time from Server.
2.) Again open the adobe site and copy the URL of the download, and then open Flashget and right-click on the download entry and select Properties and change the existing URL with the new one.

Bad luck didn't work out.

@i_kill, looks like Adobe website changed the file with a newer one & also the file size
changed!! I have downloaded CD & DVDS using FlashGet. I never faced this problem.
You delete the file '.exe.jc' & start a fresh download again. It's better that you
schedule it to download at night.

I had a similar problem for flashget downloader while downloading MS office 2007 trial version, I have gone through the steps mentioned by Vishal. I have applied both the points at the same time. First I did the below
1.) Tools -> Options, in General tab, uncheck the option Get File Date & Time from Server.
and then
2) I have searched the same site from where i started the download. I have got the link stored as IE Favourites and then used the properties option to copy the link, now i have used the same link and changed the download entry with the new URL and resume. Facinatingly it started downloading.. Hope once the download gets completed.. it will run !!!!
