    Dowload <a href='http://www.getright.com/' target='_blank'>--->GetRight<---</a>
    With that program you can stop downloading and then continue it whenever you want.

    56k powah!!!11!!!1!!!!111!1!

    I use download accelerator plus, you won't usually get much improvement in speed over a modem but Ive been pretty happy with the download resume support.

    I remember spending whole night downloading 100+MB Avp2 demo (well, it was not modem but 64kbps ISDN, but thats almost the same).

    Beware of Gozilla, it contains SPYWARE (if you want gozilla anyway ,use some old version, these dont had it).

    please use getright, it does totally kick ****!

    its got this clever thing it does, downloads the same file from diffrent links, resulting if any one host is slow then it can grab a bit from all the others and it all adds up to a MASSIVE 5.6 K DOWNLOAD SPEED <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> WWHOOOO!

    p.s: me 56k too, and wow i totally kicked **** back in the tribes day, was at the top of the score board against peeps with pings of 40 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    but NS, well i get lag cos i share a 56 k connection with other users <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    alternatively, look for a copy of your local PC games mag - most of the good ones included NS on their cover discs a few months ago, so I'm sure someone you know will have a copy.

    Heh took me, like 9 hours to download NS..worth it I reckon.

    I left it on, and grabbed up a <i>very</i> thick book.

    ( Frank Herbert's "Dune" if I recall correctly. Splendid novel.)

    Use Linux, and then you can resume downloads with <a href='http://www.konqueror.org/features/browser.php' target='_blank'>Konqueror</a>

    Flashget (aka jetcar) is a lot better program than Getright, in my opinion <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Download Accelerator Plus (DAP)

    30 kb/s => 500/600

    guess what it can do for your 56k

    better yet, buy bloody cable or something <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
