:help:


Great site but it takes forever to download something...if the line doesn't break. Well...what can I say? Shitty connection. It would be much easier if it were possible to use download accelerator or something unfortunetely the browser just starts the download and I don't have a chance to select the D.A.

So,my question is....is it possible to use D.A to download the files from this site?

No, download accelerators are disabled on this site because of the bandwidth matters. You'll have to download normally, no way for accelerators.

I never got a problem downloading games from this site. If it "breaks" like you say it's very more likely to be from your end, not ours.

Only games above 100 mb can become a problem for the site :not_ok:

Yeah, most games are small enough for it not to matter if it breaks down once in a while. Your the first person to ever complain about a bad connection at any rate. Might be a problem with your ISP.

Wow, that's interesting that you're having problems with the download speed. That must be from your end. That's one of the things that impressed me so much about this site, is the speed of download. Most the time I'm getting at least 150-200 per second. Bad for you I guess...

I'm on dialup and I have to say that I've probably gotten the best transfer speeds from here than any other place. You'll definately want to check up with your ISP.

Just the one time when I downloaded Legend of Kyrandia recently, then it reached only around 20-30 kb/s which is not full for DSL (1024 / 128). But maybe only rare case...
