Mod Downloads

I'm one of those poor saps stuck downloading mods on dial-up. By some miracle i downloaded rebalance, but for some reason whenever i try to download large ones like WTS 1.4 after it gets to about 30% it says connection with server was reset. I've tried it using IE, Firefox, and Opera, but to no avail. How do i get this to work?

Get the freeware called Download eccerator(sp). It saves how much you have downloaded and restarts at that point. In other words, you download something over several days. Link

As I can see, I have ADSL but it stinks. I can't move in servers alot because the game gets problems because of the connections ( lags and stuff).

Get Download Accelerator, then get Ad-Aware and Spybot with it to clean out all the ad crap it comes wtih.

I feel your pain, I have AUSTRALIAN dialup, Which is about the same speed as normal dialup, but dodgier.

The trick is to, Immediatly after the download cuts out, And this probably only works if you got 'Net cache and Temp' internet all running, To go into your history and pick the link for that download again and then re-download, Save it in the same spot as where you were saving before and it should resume.

Thats how I managed to download Evolutions.

Although a good option is to go for small mods, Like Victors MP Enhancement mod (1.3 is on TLR, If you search REAL hard, You might find a mirror for 1.62, as Victor kept his mods in an Yahoo briefcase)

Bah, who doesn't have Australian dial-up?

Don't listen to Final, he is misleading you. Try Getright. It's a great download manager, and I've never had any problems. Trust me .

* Now you tell of another. Had accereator for a couple of years. I just dump it after I use it for the need.
