I like so need this. It's rubbish making Juventus hammer Trad Bricks 5-0 all the time. I'd prefer it if it were Man United.

Anyway, here's the thang.

It's a 71mb file - which I'd have no problems downloading (hell, I downloaded a 80mb demo t'other night no problems whatsoever).

However. This file is hosted on Filefront, who have this queueing system. So when I get disconnected after 2 hours by Freeserve on my 56k, I get shoved to the back of this queue, and so my auto-download software is rendered useless (whereas normally, it'd simply auto-reconnect me, and resume from where it left off).

So effectively, Filefront is rubbish.
Now here's the thing, m'ladies.

If you have broadband and can host files (yes, you can see what's coming), and would be interested in doing me a favour (which is relatively nothing if you have broadband) then say so please, and I shall give you my addy.

Cheers.

It is, all queue systems are sh*te. Try Gozilla, when I was on 56K I used it for bigger downloads as I used to get disconnected all the time, it takes a few minutes but it does reconnect to the server to continue your download.

That's the thing though, I'm using Getright.

What happens is, once I reconnect, the file like apparently disappears from the server or something, as Getright can't find the file again once I'm reconnected. It's only Filefront that it happens with, which does indeed draw me to the conclusion that their queue crap is rubbish.

If you want it ASAP grab Gozilla or something similar, lob Spyware/Adware on, then you can pause the download etc and then remove when you have finished to avoid all the crap that comes with them.

If nobody else has offered by tomorrow morning, I'll do it for you, but I'm about to turn my PC off now.
