Large file downloading

All files are safe from viruses and adults-only content. Video files A great collection of video files for testing and demo use. Audio files Do you need mp3, wav or other audio format for testing? Documents A set of document files: doc, docx, odt, pdf, xls, ppt, pps and more. Images A stock of images for testing. Only two things were noted: 1 A number of users had problems downloading a large file from a site; 2 The users needed some type of understanding about why they were encountering the problem and several solutions to solve the problem.

The author listed four requirements for the programs he was introducing. The author warned, again as he always does , that many of the programs may have adware bundled within the setup file and how to avoid possible inadvertent installation of an unwanted program. They have accumulated several serial numbers that have been used in giveaway promotions. I have tried two of them and IDM successfully registered with both.

FDM has an option within the program to create a portable version. The download available from FDM is an installer and has no options to create it as portable during install, either. While most of the portables I use are direct, some are from PortableApps. While I could create a FDM portable version by installing it first.. I do NOT want to install stuff, then create a portable version and then uninstall it — FDM, IMO, should perhaps simply just provide a portable zipped version or a portable option in the installer which I ran thru and it includes adding registry entries.

However, its their software, they can do what they like with it. Or you can just use universal extractor or zip for that matter if I remember correctly , and unzip the setup exe. I usually use The Free Download Manager. Sometimes I use wget to continue downloads that get interrupted in firefox. Free Download Manager logs your download activity to their own server ip A few years back I remember trying FDM and noticed thru currports that several strange ip addresses kicked in when downloading.

So, I decided to give it a whirl again with the current FDM version.. I then used Fiddle to check out more on what was happening. The IP Porn sites are hosted, and the somewhat popular GOTD is hosted by the company. There is activity to a php page and server before that page gets loaded that is hidden unless you track the activity of FDM.

In this case, you use the program and the price is data collection it seems. When I opened FDM, no outbound traffic was observed. Load the url and look at it. Note: I have automatic updates turned off, I do not use the mirrors option, I do have "display opinions when downloading" checked, I do not check downloads before downloading if they are malicious.. No other outbound connections are made except the actual downloads.

No information about what I am doing is sent. Also note that the address I captured FDM contacting is.

Mozilla had one of these. The -c parameter should be mentioned to continue an interrupted download as should be the wgetrc file.

DownThemAll for Firefox is the best of the best. A free Firefox add-on, it supports multi-threaded downloads, pause and resume, and can download all media pictures, MP3s, etc.

Used to use free download manager before migrating to win 7 now the only thing I can get to work is FF downloader. Internet Download Manager is the best. You can manually set it to detect which browser you are using as some managers only have a predefined set of supported browsers.

Why is the download being limited when I am paying good money for dropbox service. The only answer I can find online is that I need to download the whole directory, then zip it myself, and then re-upload it to their server.

This is not possible because I neither have the computational resources nor patience. I'm a paying customer. How can I ask Dropbox to zip the directory for me so I can share it? Sanchez Community Moderator Dropbox dropbox. Hi Rich--but how do you create the link for the Zip drive. I am having the same issue regarding size of file being too large and have created a zip folder.

But on a macbook air, at least, i dont see an option to create a link to share the zipped folder. To clarify, I am attempting to get the too big file from my computer to dropbox. Even after zipped, it is too large. Jane Community Moderator Dropbox dropbox.
