Can't resume downloads

Hi Higgy,

I've the same problem me too, I'm unable to download Pack03 and Pack04 of "Bella Italia Remastered" because they are large about 9 and 12 Giga that for me will take about 2,30 to 3,30 hours to download.

I tried with different Download Managers but the Server stop the connection when download reach 80 - 90% of the full download that's frustrating and there is no way to resume the download, it start always from the beginning.

I've a poor Internet connection, officially is 20 Megabit but I can reach only 11 - 12 Megabit, so without a Download Manager that accelerate downloads it's impossible foe me to download large files from this site, I believe that a file size of 4 - 5 Giga are fine for me too.

Hello again Higgy - that's great support.

I ran into probs with the Iberia ortho files, so I tried Free Download Manager, with mixed results. I saw speeds as high as 5MB/sec but they would tail off to about160 KB and fail with "Remote server closed the connection". I have them all now, but it was a struggle

With FDM, I discovered I could stop a slow download ( ~ 140KBs) then restart it and get much better speeds, so that is a tip for others.

I had not seen your poll in Feb, but I think a 3GB limit on filesize would give more people more access to reliable downloads.

Thanks again,

Mike

Hello Mike,

many tnx for the big donation Mike, in the name of the community

I think this are the Files you write about ?

Bella Italia 3 - The complete country ( with Sicily ) - remastered

Bella Italia 4 - The complete country ( with Sicily ) - remastered

Bella Italia 5 - The complete country ( with Sicily ) - remastered

for all :

its much easier for me, when you write here the link to the files which you mean.

So i had only to download, ...split...and upload again ...and not search before ....

which files you mean ...

Cheers, Higgy

It was this set of files I had trouble with, even using FDM. Most of them are just short of 4GB, which is why I suggested 3GB as a limit. All good now.

Thanks

Mike

ok Mike...bella 3 is ready ..

4 i think this night. ...

When you use FDM with our server and had only less bandwith ...

make shure that you only download one file at a time.

At the time I only had 100GB /month, or 3GB / day so I only ever d/l one file at a time. My provider has just doubled my bandwidth allowance at no extra cost, but that is still only 6GB per day. I try to pick a time when the rest of the world is asleep, and make sure none of the other machines in my network is using the internet. There is a lot of cyberspace between Europe and Oz

4 is ready

5 is ready

Hi Higgy,

thanks a lot for your good job splitting the big files in "Bella Italia Remastered".

Now I can download the full Italy.

Thanks again

Roberto
