Subject: downloads

Question
hello, I was wondering if there's a way to download offline I'm tying to download a movie that's about 2.9hrs long on a low speed connection, taking forever!.and this is the second time I've tried because first it only downloaded 10min's of the movie.

Answer
First, the act of downloaded is transferring a file from a remote PC to your PC. To do that you have to be connected to that PC, so how can you do it offline?

Second, I would not try downloading such a large file with a low speed connection. its unlikely to work. But there are some download accelerator utilities that might help. I would check the WEB for them.

There is one more thing to consider. Where are you getting this movie from? Remember, almost all current movies are protected by copyright and this may be a pirated copy.

Hope this helps
Scott<>
