Here we go
since i got annoyed with the limitation on dial up i decided to push it to the button,
a list of stuff u need
1> flash get download manager
2> crappy dial up 
3>a working brain
for Firefox users
1>latest version of Firefox
2>the flash got plugin
3>this technique is based on Firefox but may work with other browsers.
this technique is a sound simple but semi hard for people who haven't done it before
Its pretty much you start your download before you sleep and pause it in the morning sort of thing.
after you have installed flash get,flash got,etc you are now prepared to get 500+ files that work!!!
but do be prepared to wait 4 to 7 days! before the download can complete! and some lack of sleep!
Now the get 500mb+ thing
Once you find a download click on it, once the (opening*****) opens, make sure the (flash got) is selected and out of the list next to it, (Flash get)
now click the (save file) button
(Flash get) should now be open with the (add new download) as well. remember the top part that says (URL) that's your friend.
Now for the time being, click (OK) and if the download doesn't start automatically, click the download and click the start button and it should start
IMPORTANT
but with big files from serten sites (Mainly Moddb) every hour or two (usually two and a half) you have to reset the (URL) its when the timer says ??.??.?? when that shows, (pause the download) and go to the download mirror, click on it, the (opening*****) should come up again,
now click the (save file) button
this should look familiar.
remember how i said that (URL) that's your friend.)
well it is
(right click the URL and click copy) then click cancel to close that download,
in (Flash get) click on your download then (click prop)
a familiar screen should pop up,
(Now copy the fresh URL into the part that says URL)
then click OK
then (click start) and it should continue for two and a half hours or so
repeat every two and a half hours if needed.
what a long night, man you must be sleepily LOL you still have 3 to 7 or maybe 10 nights to go LOL 
IMPORTANT
DON'T turn your PC off! or use some PC cleaner tool, this may corrupt your download!!!
Now its night time and you want to continue.
(get a fresh URL) and copy it in the prop/URL area then (click start) it should continue.
THAT'S IT and if the (hour rule) apply's to your download
continue above and get some COFFEY or an ALARM and some FOOD just in case you get hungry
and you should be fine.
some things you should know
1>you may turn into a zombie
2>you can get really hungry at 2am
3>it might not work ( it hasn't happened to me yet)
4>don't blame me for bad studys at school or work etc...
5>it can take a long time
6>this technique is a BETA it may have probs
7>but it does work 
8>don't forget to log in to sites like moddb cuz the
download mirror wont work.
have fun
(UPDATED STUFF)
tested the shutdown PC after pausing download
you can now shutdown the PC after a puase
it seems (Flashget) saves it to the hard drive rather the the TEMP file
so... you can shut it down in the morning to prevent an overheat.
things i got with this technique
1>FARCRY the delta sector mod (346mb) 3 days
2>Morrowind rule 12 (467mb) 5 days
3>FARCRY FACAM (588mb) 5 days
4>plus loads of (150mb+) patches
and all corrupted FREE
but i dont recommend pausing a zip file some probs in the past, gonna test it on some mod soon.
update:
Don't download 100mb+ZIP files with this technique.
it'll be corrupted 90% of the time and with a zip repair 80% i think
but 50mb zip files and EXE files up to 1 GB should work 90% of the time
remember that the closer the sever you download from
it'll be faster and less likely to be corrupted
moddb seems to be a great one for being corrupted free! but you do have to reset the (URL) alot.
but funny that, you pause alot and disconnect and shut down and so on. and it'll still work!?
update:
iv perfected a download strategy for filefront
once you come to the (add new download) window click
up or the down key on the (number of active threads box)
in till it says 1 (default is 5 ) and in the (URL bar)
backspace this line ( \X6 ) its at the end of the URL.
and now start your download.
the good thing about this one is you don't need to
refresh the (URL) from what i know, and you can sleep
more. but from what i heard, the downloads are not from
a trusted source, but..... i don't care, iv got tons of stuff
from them
update:
filefront uses download mirrors from other sites and
the hour rule may apply and keep an active virus scanner
on if need be, i think that's true 
Great Update!:
When going to start or continue a download, in the
selected download property's set the threads to one
and then click the site prop button, now uncheck the
(unlimited) box and next to it set to one and click (Ok)
and then (Ok) again.
Now... Start downloading you!!!
this pretty much eliminates the one hour rule but it still
can happen. (haven't had that prob though)
