I gathered 1032 points (for four days) and I ma downloading right now Tales of Symphonia with my Free Download Manager. I can't download it all at once, It's telling me that resume is not supported! Please help! What to do to make it supported? does that mean that I lost my points for nothing and I have to wait another week??!
This is from the Introduction page concerning points and downloading: Points are removed from your account as soon as you begin your download. The point cost for that file will then be set to zero for you for 24 hours, enabling you to redownload the file in case of a broken download or interrupted transfer. You can, however, always resume a file at no point cost.
Resume should be enabled. RomU lets you use download managers anytime. I was downloading a GC game once and it let me pause and resume it over 10 times.
Oops, I stopped and resumed successfully, I stopped it again so I can resume it at night during the free bandwidth period. The resume seems to works correctly despite the interface is telling it's not :-/ weird. Sorry RomU, I am new. Post Merge: [time]1274980131[/time] Another question, ...weird question. Is there any deadline period for a download?
No. You can download as much as you want whenever. Just don't give your download links away or you'll be banned.
free redownloads are only for 24 hours following first download. After that it costs points again. Resuming is unfortunately not possible with all download managers, this is because some of them don't adhere to the RFCs regarding http resumes. the ones that conform to the RFCs will be able to resume from our servers, the ones that dont may not.
^^Wait, these are bad.... bad news to me. Is 'Free Download Manager' supported? and is resuming = redownload?
redownloading is starting again, say for example you delete a file and want to download it again. resuming is continuing from where it 'ended' (not finished, because its incomplete), because you lost the connection or you paused it. resuming is free. FDM should be supported, if not IDM is. as far as I remember its DAP that has issues resuming.
At topic starter, if you really need a download manager to handle your downloads, I'd suggest you first install FireFox as your web browser, then install Flashget as your Download Manage as a lot of old timer RomUlation members swear by it. Then couple that with one of FireFox's add-ons called FlashGot. Here's a tutorial for that purpose for you: http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=8884.msg89720#msg89720 I hope this helps you out
FlashGet was recommended to me by a few people, but the thing is, IDM worked much better for me. I guess different download managers work for different people.
FlashGet is a stand alone program. It doesn't require any specific browser. Firefox just has a plugin called FlashGot that integrates FlashGet (as well as many other download managers) into it fairly well.
Ohhh... Didn't know that. Though you had to have a plugin to make it work correctly. I never really experimented with it.
