There is no way that you can turn your computer off and still be connected to something :} Computers just don't work that way.

How are you downloading, through BitTorrent, or a mirror? Have you tried other mirrors that may be faster?

[OrcSamurai]

bit torrent, its still only at 11.8% loaded

The speed you get with BitTorrent often depends on how many people there are sharing the download. It may be faster if you choose a mirror to download from.

[OrcSamurai]

where would you say the best mirror is? please say the adress so i can copy paste

[Bereror]

Try the new fast mirror here: New fast mirror for Planeshift!. It might be that there are not too many BitTorrent users seeding anymore.

[OrcSamurai]

damn, its faster but still only 5.05kb/s

Dial-up isn't known for high-speeds, so unfortunately there isn't much more that we can suggest. You may want to use a download manager that will let you stop and resume downloads if you can't leave your computer on for too long.
