BeefontheBone I used to be an Opera devotee, but Gmail forced me to change (doesn't fully support it, and didn't at all when I first got it) and now I like Firefox. I could write a quick tutorial for getting it to work if anyone felt it'd be useful.

efthimios You can always try my favourite browser, Opera. :whistle:

DeathDude Yeah the downloader for Firefox was never properly developed, especially in regards to resuming downloads, one hopes that they will get it fixed eventually.

MrBackAlleySka Well, you know what they say. "3rd time's the charm". How'd you do that though? heh, i'd love to get getright working for this site. Firefox's default downloader is a bit picky.

BeefontheBone you could just do them in bits with a download manager, although it's tricky to get one to work with the links from our server - I manage it with GetRight and a Firefox plugin, but for some reason I have to click the "Download" link 3 times before it's recognised...

FreeFreddy Well, you can't simply run programs in a ZIP-file, you need first to create a folder and to move / extract all the files from the archive to that folder, then anything works fine (in DosBox get it on our site also)
