Re: [ilugd]: Downloading in ftp mode

[Ambar Roy]

I use metaproducts download express under windows for all my downloads. It is free, small and it does the work for me ;) I have used it to download iso images of red hat and mandrake linux in past. check out www.metaproducts.com This is a 200kb download. I have also used flashget to do iso and other downloads, and no problems. Flashget installs some adware dlls, which can be spyware too, so be warned about that. In my experience, many download accelerators tend to download garbage in multisegment download modes when downloading files larger than 100mb. Download express and FlashGet don't seem to do this. In fact I have had problems with the big brother of download express, Mass Downloader. One good feature of download express is that you can set it up to download in as many threads you want. I have used upto 30 threads when downloading using fat pipes with good results. Remember to choose a mirror that gives you fast downloads. Another option that you have is to ask some1 on the list for the cds. I suppose there is a whole list dedicated to this nowadays.   Ambar I was trying to download mandrake linux but it says download the image in binary mode. I would like to know that is it possible with download accelarator to download the image properly because the connection is not very stable.
