Another way to get large files when you have a poor connection is using an ftpmail server This gets the file, by ftp and some do http, then emails it to you in segments.
There's a list of servers rated by speed at http://www.cix.co.uk/~net-services/mrcool/stats.htm Just send a message to the server address with "help" the subject and body, you should get back a set of instructions. The default segment is usually 50k, you may want to increase that. Then you save all the attachments, join together, decode. Depending on your mail app you may be able to do it by sort by subject and selecting all the constituent messages. It's slow, but sure. I used it to get files from Russian servers that continually timed out, or updates to Netscape when I had a slow modem. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
