I've just had the download fail for the second time. I'd been downloading for over half an hour and had about 10 minutes left to go when the download suddenly "completed" and wouldn't open.
I know it's my absurdly slow violence-inducing internet connection 5Kb/sec... I just need to rant.
I really don't want to have to wait another 45 minutes of downloading if it's going to crash again at 90% complete and I STILL can't open the file...

I take it you aren't using any sort of download accelerator then?
I use GetRight for everything, always have since they invented it! Never had any problems with it - if the download stops it just reconnects and carries on where it left off. I thought most people used one of these these days lol
I couldn't go back to starting downloads from scratch - oh the memories that brings back from all those years ago (sobs)

I got it now! *dances*
I had to leave my computer running the download and not touch/look at anything else, I think last time it stopped/crashed the download when I was searching other sites, emails and such.
I'm on "wireless" internet connection and it's a bad area where I live, so I'm stuck with whatever download rate I can get. Plus when I exceed my monthly alloted limits with my ISP my bandwidth is actively restricted to dial-up speeds, which is what's happened here.
