WOW! Didn't expect this many replies so fast. :w00t:
No...umm....I didn't say that the site is the problem. It's defenetely me. My connection sux big time. It's dial-up and it get's like 40-50Kbps MAX. But in reality it's much less especially with downloads. I wondered about the accelerator because it saves the stuff. Not so much about the speed. Oh well....will try to download something now...less than 10mb. Will take me about half an hour.  It's downloading it at 2.5kbps!And now it has stoped completely. It's just standing at 26% (1.79mb) and not moving for five minutes now. And any other download I start while this one is blocked is going just fine and also the sites open up just fine. So,the kbs are still comming but the download has just blocked. I guess I just can't download anything from here. Too bad for me.  And I even saw that there is Blood omen on this site....I want it but it's like 100mb...I don't even dare think about it.I aborted this download now. It's hopeless. Well...I downloaded Lost Vikings...but that's about 1mb. Can ANYONE HELP ME?! |

Might also be your software and hardware. Do you have enough HDD space for the download's temporary files? Try cancelling the DL and restarting it. Then leave the computer overnight.

Yeah. I have more than enough HD space. As for the sw I'm using XP / internet explorer. My modem is 56k...
Leave it overnight? And when the download blocks or the line breaks...? It all goes down the drain. |

You can actually use a download accelerator, but you need to configure it to catch .zip files in your browser!

Yes, you just need it to configure it so that it grabs *.zip files before IE / Mozilla do. Probably somewhere in browser integration, and then you usually have a list of extensions that should ALWAYS be downloaded with a manager.
