Thanks guys,that really helps a lot.
Jim,you mention download managers,in your case utorrent,I have download accelerator which also resumes broken dls.Only problem with DAP sometimes is that the default windows download screen appears and not the DAP download screen.As far as I know DAP has been configured to become my default dl manager,but as I say with some files the default windows one appears.
Ultimately,I dont care how long it takes me to dl all that I need,so long as I can keep resuming where I left off.I'm quite patient most times
Finally,Utorrent,this is free,and becomes your default download manager by default?.I never knew about this program,I think i'll have a look at it.Have you got a link to it?.
Thanks mate.
