It's an extremely unreliable connection at certain times of the day, and it tends to disconnect for a few seconds from time to time. Given that it can download at anywhere from 2-50kbps on average (although I've seen it jump over 1000), there's a good chance I'll be disconnected at least once in any given download. Could this cause downloaded files to become corrupted, wasting points? Or will the download simply stop and resume automatically? I've got Flashgot/Flashget as recommended. I've been saving up points for an undecided PSX RPG, and I really don't want to screw it up...
it will become corrupted, so you redownload it, saving over the top of the corrupt file. Flashget will then tell our server you are resuming a broken download, and you will not be charged. It cannot resume automatically as the links expire to prevent hotlinking, meaning the reconnection gets a missing file error.
I'm trying to download Xenogears for the PSX, and it was going pretty fast for a while, but it disconnected and now refuses to reconnect, even though the internet is working fine. It actually did so twice, but the first time it managed to reconnect and resumed downloading. How exactly do I go about redownloading it? Just try again from the site as if I was downloading it for the first time, or do I have to do something in Flashget?
repeat as if it is the first time, but save it to the same location. Flashget should give you the option to resume it.
Bah. It didn't work. The file didn't show up in the browser window, and apparently it renamed itself. No option to resume, it just started over. Now I'm down to 188 points...
It works fine, you start the download, select flashgot and save with the same name to the same location. Practice on a NDS game or something.
...And it did it again. I don't see how a connection can drop from 100kbps to nothing in a matter of seconds... Well, I guess I'll just have to save up points for about three weeks and try again using some other wireless network. And for everyone's information, while emuparadise has some of the same PSX games (or claims to), they force you to vote for them, and then give you a virus in return. People are cruel.
