These days, I'm downloading different IDE's, database binaries and (non microsoft) service updates from the net. The minimum download size is about 40 MB and the maximum was the new release of JDeveloper which is currently still being downloaded. Its about 508 MB in size.
This is the third time I try to download this 508 piece with a failed connection frustration.
Until... I found this wonderful free tool. Its a download manager named 'free download manager' that can be downloaded from http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm.
Enjoy downloading. No more connection disruptions. No more frustrations.

A friend had to send me 120 MB, so he put him online for me to download.
That didn't work with my slow connection, I tried 3 times, it took 10 hours each time and got a corrupted file.
He then put them on fastsend.com, I downloaded them within 30 minutes instead of 10 hours.
I know it doesn't make sense at all, but these people has a new technology, they say "download up to 30 times faster" and it happened to be true. I still don't know what compression or technology they use but I am impressed.
i think they just download bits rather than complete files and reassemble at destination, may be!
anyway, adobe also has a download manager that comes with the suite, so is that why this is free? why r they putting it there for free? what's the catch? good people? suddently?
No idea why it might be free.
But anyway, there's one of a thousand hidden reasons for why a tool became free.
By the way, fastsend.com seems interesting. Ought to try. Thanks 3aloosh ;)
