Sure you can...as I said there are many download managers like GetRight, ReGet, and even ftp programs like FlashFXP, Bulletproof FTP, etc...that automatically reconnect and resume a transfer if its interrupted.


I have a download manager. The problem isn't that if I get interrupted I have to start over, the problem is that when I get interrupted I have to physically reset my router to make it reconnect to my modem. I could start the download, walk away, and in five minutes my router glitches and stops working. It's like I'm offline. Until I pull the power on it, it won't reset and work again. If I just plug into my modem, instead of going through the router, my ISP has this nasty habit of cutting me off during large downloads. I can get chunks of a file, then my modem disconnects and I have to get everything working again to get the next chunk.

About two weeks ago, I downloaded a 300MB file. It took 3 times longer than it should have because I kept having to reset my router, or connect to my modem directly, or reset my modem and my router, etc. After all that for a 300MB file, a 700MB file looks impossible to me.

Although, after reading that link warranto posted, I'm a little more intrigued to see if this video is really that bad. Originally I thought it would just be a rehash of everything I've read about quantum physics, but if that site is even half right, it might be worth watching just to laugh at it. I'll see if I can work up the will download something twice the size of that last file... that thing was a nightmare. Crying or Very sad
