Can't download Famous Planets

Hi everyone!

I am having a hard time downloading all 800MB of the Famous Planets OXP. Box dot net doesn't seem to support any kind of resuming and no amount of hacking Flashgot or Wget is getting me anywhere. I spent all night getting 600MB before the connection broke. Are there any other mirrors? Or could some kind soul perhaps break it up with Split or Zip and upload it in 50MB pieces? I would really like to see the it!

Thanks
Les

Sorry to hear that.
Re-uploading the file will be my next TO-DO thing. Then it will be a bit smaller.

Sorry for now

I managed to download it last night, all in one go, but I'm sure other people will have the same problem. I noticed 2.0 was in the 'static' portion of Box dot Net. Despite several line-drops I managed to download that one quite quickly.

I use a tool for Firefox called Down Them All. It has multi-threading download capabilities to speed up large downloads, and also you can re-start downloads in case of disconnections and drop outs which is really handy if your connection is dodgy, for example if you use mobile broadband.

It won't work on Box dot Net, part of their website excludes resume support.
