Courtesy rule for 56kers??

Hey all,

I was wondering if we could make a "Courtesy rule for 56kers" of when posting a vid of any kind they include the size of the file?? Thanks

Nick

You should see how big it is before starting to download it, you can always cancel.

Not always it just says "opened so far" and yes I usually "right click and save as".

www.getright.com > an awesome download manager, if you buy it, it stops coming up with a message everytime you open it but, no biggy. It automatically downloads the link instead of using IE's downloader. If the link isn't picked up properly you can "Right Click" and "Copy link Location" then paste it in the File > Enter New URL or CTRL + N.

Pretty spiffy. Although there's many other similar programs, Getright is good.

What makes it so great like other download managers as that you can pause and resume, and schedule downloads to start and once finished disconnect or shutdown the computer.

DAP - Downloader Accelerator Plus, is better. Though, I don't use it. I barely download.

I tried that program and it sucks ass, will never do that again. Such false advertising... it's like .01 kbps than what I had without it. whoo... hoo...

Well then my best advice to you, is to Stay Out of any video and picture threads....that way there will be no complaining!

Download Accelerator is garbage. When I was doomed with a 56k line I used DAP Plus, and two years later, some parts of the program are still stuck on my hard drive.

FlashGet is better than any other download managers. Well, I use NetTransport, which is basically a nicer version of FlashGet. 👍

That would be very nice for 56k users, although it's just a common courtesy and not something that can really be made as a rule. I have to second ALPHA's recommendation for GetRight - I downloaded hundreds of megabytes of data before I got my cable modem, thanks to GetRight. It's really a great program! 👍

Hmm, opposite of me. I had GetRight and now I'm using DAP, much happier with DAP.
