6-7-2008 How Do You Download Large
Files With a Dial-Up Connection? Downloading large files with dial-up can be a headache to say the least. You may start the download of your favorite new game or program and leave for several hours (or go to sleep) and pray you come back to claim your prize. More often than you would like ya come back to see only (oh no!) a partially downloaded file due to disconnection. Ahh, the futility! You just waited 10 maybe 12 hours thinking you would come back to your computer to test out this new found functionality only to see the disconnection notice mocking you. For us it may result in several choice words we hope our neighbors don't hear. There is hope for this "dial-up affliction" however. As many of you already know there are some helpful add-on programs called download managers. They are able to recover multiple downloads if they get interupted and continue on their course to finality. In addition, some have extra abilities like reconnecting automatically with your provider immediately if disconnected (pretty cool!), or speeding up certain downloads as well. We've compiled a list of download managers that are best rated and well known. Of course these may lead to another problem- what if you need a download manager to download a download manager(ahhh our heads hurt!)? Ok that we can't help ya with, our brains are just too small to figure that one out! You're on your own from here:) 1. Internet Download Manager (www.internetdownloadmanager.com): Rated 5 Stars on CNET's download.com (tough to achieve) with too many other awards to name. It is a full featured download manager and is free to use for 30 days. Check 'em out. 2. FreeDownloadManager (www.freedownloadmanager.org): Its description includes some of our favorite words: "free" and "open source!" Way too many features to list but a few are download acceleration, resume broken downloads, and Youtube video downloading. Check out their website for more. 3. Getright (www.getright.com): A popular download manager that is free with limited features and $19.95 to unlock all features. Its a well known and stable program. 4. FlashGet (www.flashget.com): Another top rated program from CNET. This quote from the CNET review staff sums it up nicely: "FlashGet looks and feels like a download accelerator worth paying for, which makes it all the more appealing since it's free." There ya go- its good and its free. What more could you want? What's your favorite? Let us know and we will list it here. |
