Hi Sampath, Its a very interesting thought. Let me get this straight.
* You want to download say 1Gb file, * You started the download in windows say with IDM (internet download manager) * paused the download at say 500Mb. * you rebooted into Linux instead of windows (say Ubuntu) * Now, you want to continue the download from 501Mb for the same exact file. (assuming you have the r/w access to the windows drive) I havent come across such a download manager yet. Actually, download managers for linux are not so great as with Windows. I guess geeks have better bandwidths and may be we dont need to use DMs. :) Anyways, I never tried this but I have an idea. How about installing the same exact download manager in linux also... Say you were using IDM in windows to download then install IDM in ubuntu using Wine and try to resume the download from there. Chances are, it wouldnt work coz the downloaded files will be scrambled into .part files depending on the number of threads you've used. I guess IDM on wine might not know how to resume and reassemble them. So, if you use a single thread there might be a chance.. but then again, if you are just using one thread why use a download manager at all :) [except for the pause n resume ofcourse]. Anyways, it will be a very interesting proof of concept if not anything else so its definitely worth a shot. Give it a try and let us know if it works out. -- Cheers, John On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 5:23 AM, Sampath Inturi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi to all > > I have internet connection with 512Kbps, > and I used to download softwares and movies continuously. > Some times my system will run for days. > > Here the problem is, my system is dual boot with Windows and Linux, so when > I am downloading something in windows, I should keep login in windows or if > in Linux I should be in Linux. > > So is there any download manager or torrent manager that should work in > both Operating Systems for downloading same file. > > Thanks&Regards > Sampath Inturi >
