If it costs me money... well errrmm... that doesn't grow on trees.
Thanks AceChilla.
Another thing I would like to know is whether or not FileFront supports download accelerators (Something else I know little about.) and whether or not there are any good/reputable download accelerators available as freeware. (Something else I know little about.)
Just now I tested FileFront and it totally sucked as far as DL speed was concerned.

Filefront definitly has problems. Today I was trying to download 44 M and it took 4 hours 
Bittorrent is a file sharing protocol / application. There are a lot of bittorrent clients, all of them free. What it does, is that it basically facilitates downloading / uploading from one user to another. No ftp / central server is required for this. Just a site able to host a small file that contains addresses of other users where you download / upload (which is called "tracker"). It is very popular with Linux distributions, since they are quite big. It is a very fast method, ideal for a release such as this,
Other than that, the file can be shared over the existing eDonkey / eMule network - Emule client is freeware - This is a little bit easier to use for a beginner. It is not as fast as Bittorrent, which concentrates on a single file, but can be qute fast, esp. if the uploaders have adequate B/W. See http://www.emule-project.net
Learning curve for both is 1-2 hours. |
Yes Filefront sucks latelly, to slow, and most of the times depending on the file size they just cut the download on the midle and you've got to download all over again....
Example to download 400 MB IUB last mod, i left Mi blessed computer working all night, from 22. to 7 AM in the morning , not shore if it finished downloading earleer but that was the hour i returned from work....
