Hi
Basically i need a tool which allows me to resume a download after i've been cut off by NTL.
Anyone recommend anything.
Cheers

remove the software that cuts you off - i did when i was a HPB

shunty

most of the good ftp packages have resume capability.
Cute FTP, SmartFTP, FTP-Pro etc....
let me know if you need a trial version

I used to use FlashGet or GoZilla

sorry - HPB (High Ping Basterd - 56K?????)

When i was on NTL 56K you could remove the software that caused you to be disconnected after 2 hours. Just note down the phone number that your dialling and your login credentials and create a manual new connection in dial up networking. At least that is what i did about 3 years ago. Not sure if it still applies.

i use getright on 56k
it reconnects to the internet and will even switch off the computer when done.
also you can pause your downloads and resume them later.
I have downloaded 200MB files using this.
Just do it overnight and during the day.
Then when i comne back from work its all done

marcmann....i'll do that later,i'd be surprised if it still works tbh but you can only try.

If not Getright sounds pretty good,reconnecting and all that.

Cheers guys..

Flashget with the ad's removed is what I use - works for me

The best way is to disconnect from your ISP, then use the phone to call an ADSL provider.

Slowly?

Tell me about it

I'm using a trial version of getright,so far so good.I really do need broadband though.

I don't think so
The two hour timeout is at the other end of the link -- it's configured on the NAS (I guess they're using something like a Cisco AS5300/AS5400).
You can defeat the idle timeout by sending pings periodically, but you can't defeat the two hour cutoff.
This used to be a real problem when Napster was the only P2P program

Go to http://www.download.com and search for download accelerator plus. Not only will it improve your download speeds but you can resume everytime you turn on your PC, easy to use and best of all free.
