« on: July 16, 2005, 10:01:31 am »
Im downloading planeshift but it keeps sticking at sertain points.
Then i try to download it with firefox explorer.

hmm.... shouldnt be happening, normaly all you do is click and wait.

what are you downloading torrent or normal thing, how do you mean it sticks.
<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place

Download GetRight (http://www.getright.com) or another download mmanager, and copy and paste one of the mirrors (NOT the torrent) into GetRight\'s download URL thingamajig.

Try either using the Torrent to download it, or use Download Accelerator Plus or Getright, so the download can be resumed.

Well, the reason I use GetRight is because I\'m doomed to 56k and downloading something as big as planeshift would take at least 12 hours (amazingly enough, I didn\'t get disconnected once during that time).
