Faster download

  • Hi everybody, i used to play here, but since i had a few problems with my computer never was able to play freelancer again. I was reading the forum these days and would like to offer some help on the download speed. I see you generally use the flashget download manager, wich is a very fine program, but i would like to sugest a diferent aproach. Try using the OPERA BROWSER 8.51, the best browser in my opinion. It manages downloads completely diferent from the I.E., have many diferent features that improve navigation security and speed, wich makes it one of the fastest browsers available. It works with dowloads almost like a download manager, speeding up the download process, and making possible to continue the download from the point it stoped, in those cases it crashes. If the internet speed is low, the download managers are best option because they can brake the file in several smaller pieces and make the transfering faster, but if the stability is the major problem, that aproach may work fine - it worked for me.

  • i use opera too , love the mouse gestures

  • Well, that wasn't my intention, i just wanted to show another way to make faster downloads. Every single browser has weak and strong points, the only exception is the IE - only bad points :D:D:D ! Even the Maxthon is superior to the IE, despite it is a variation of that program :P .

  • sry but this time i have to defend IE


    it has a big + point... the compatibility
    show me one browser that can handle all the different formats that IE can handle...

  • IE is the one & only real i-net browser. The others are just some self-made copys, with some more progs, which are totally unnecesary. & my expierience with other browsers: which sounds the strangest is the ''best''.

    Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.
