    Im using flashget and it seems that my download was disconnected halfway through and i cant seem to be able to resume the download.

    The error im getting from flashget is that the file size has change. Is there anyway to correct it?

    The only way that you could get that kind of error is if the file actually has changed in size (doubtful) or somewhere along the line there was a mistake and the size of the file was misread by Flashget. Your best bet would be to restart the download in my opinion and check to see if the problem goes away.

    Read the introduction page, you have to do it in a very specific way due to our anti-leech.

    A link is only for a few minutes, then it changes, so you have to go restart the download, but save on top of the other one and then that ought to resume it instead of overwrite.

    Yeah, it's way better than back in 2004ish? When we had to download an actual anti-leach program.

    Yeah we used a java applet back then, but that was different, we didn't pay for an actual server.

    Anti leech program sure sounds confusing...

    Yeah, using a new link and overwrite the original works. Thanks =)

    It resumed, no points taken? No extra download logged in your profile?

    I think you might just be the first besides the admin staff to confirm that it does work. :)

    Erm, it does deduct points. Just that im using another account to try out as i have insufficient points =X.

    Please delete away 'lty' account if it doesnt take up much of your time.

    Hmm, it really shouldn't take points when you resume a download, not unless you start over that is.
