Need a little download help

[Fran]

Hi all,

would someone here be able to help me with a (legal) download issue? I bought a sampler album (well got it free with a kickstarter project I backed) from radio 2L. The download is 10gB (DXD hi res sampler album). My internet is acting up and is continuously being interrupted.

So i'm looking for someone with the bandwidth and maybe fibre connection?

Its a 100% legal download, no funny stuff.

Wouldn't have a super connection but I could pull 10gb over a few hours (5mb)

internet download manager is a great tool for downloads that get interrupted or slow
it is a paid program but it worth it just for speed and lack of hassle

I could do it relatively easy with 45 Mb/s, but then the issue would be how to get it to you in Ireland from the Netherlands ;-)

There are several download managers that could help you download these large files, as long as the sending server supports restarts.
A good free one is JDownloader.

Ok, many thanks guys. I'll give jdownloader a go and see if it works. i think whats happening is that I'm loosing dsl now and again and this is interrupting the download.

What solved it "free wifi" or downloaded tool

[Fran]

free broadband kindly provided by Tony!

BTW, this is one of the downsides of hi-res. This was a 9.2Gb zip file at DXD level - 24/352.8kHz. Storage, processing time, etc etc etc all are more complicated. The original album also retails at $37. Aint cheap.

I think the downloader only works if you are running from FTP - the download for 2L is managed within a browser window so no chance to use 3rd party SW.

These download managers are not limited to ftp at all, on the contrary they are more focussed on http downloads.
That said, you need to have the URL of the file to be downloaded. maybe 2L is blocking direct access to that URL, though most download managers are just monitoring your http-traffic and intercepting certain types of files that are being downloaded.
So normally I wouldn't expect any difficulties at all using download managers.
