Download with download manager?

[Historiker]

Will it work? Which one works? I'm sitting here behind a 16-20kb line and need a manager if I want to get the file somewhen...

I don`t have a special downloadmanger. just using firefox 3.5. no problems in germany. 200-250k /sec.

I recommend www.stardownloader.com as long as you set it to one stream only. The store does not like multi-stream download managers, it can cause serious problems. But a single stream (they're all set to multi-stream by default but can be configured for single stream) works fine and lets you resume downloads if disconnected, etc.

I use Internet Download Manager - works like a charm.

Erik...
I appear to be missing the correct serial number...
Is it supposed to come with the receipt, which I printed, or did I fail to get something on one of the screens, because my old WitP serial number does not work.

Please define serious problems (as I am downloading now using my default settings in flashget and after the IT day I have had at work today I don't need any more issues - either for me or anyone else).

Main issue is that if you lose your connection and have to re-download, the store may not let you if you were using a multi-stream manager as it may think you are actually some kind of "attack". That resolves by waiting 24 hours, but it's darned annoying.

THis may have happend here... [:@]
Free download manager stopped at 43% and now telling me "wrong name or password" - I can't resume!
I've now downloaded Star Downloader, but can't find a way to set at single stream - as I wasn't at free download manager. How to do that?

[Historiker]

Also, can you unlock the download?

Please e-mail me at erikr@matrixgames.com with your Order ID and I'll see what I can do.

Thank you for your help, email sent!

Ok, the file was open for download again now, but when I set to 1 maximum connections, it "downloaded" with 0 bytes - and 3 minutes later, my account was closed again...
Is there any way to avoid waiting another 24 hours?

Im' using the Opera browser and it's built in download manager. And I can attest that restarting with this browser does work, since a tractor with a sweep hooked a power line downtown (long story) and knocked out power in the middle of my DL. Restarted the transfer and the .exe worked fine upon double clicking for install.

[Historiker]

Hehe, Erik has apparently given up

Sorry Erik for molesting you again and again. Seems to be a kind of curse with me and AE...

Is this the necessary setting?

opera manager REALLY d/loads everything, never failed me. Listen to the man Shark7 above, and install opera
