Rant of the day

I've been trying with varying success for a couple of hours to download a 6GB installer. I never knew downloading such huge files was a massive pain in the arse! First I was on Windows, Chrome occasionally would just keep pausing the downloads meaning I couldn't leave it running, FF got to about 4.1 GB and then gave up without even an error. Tried to download a download manager, but it was an infected installer. Gave up looking for Windows based download managers and booted Linux, found one called "FlareGet" which downloads a file in segments supposedly decreasing time it takes to download files. Paused it for all of 10 seconds so I could let the buffering on a Youtube video I was watching catch up, un-paused the file downloading and it started all over again, even though it had just got to 48% before I paused it! :mad:

That was a couple of years ago, I'm not sure it's available anymore.

WTF are you doing? If you have gotten into Linux, open a Terminal and use wget. wget http://www.lloydspornhabit.co.uk/files/porndownloadinstaller.exe Should work a treat for you. As long as the download isn't hidden behind some stupid popup code.
