himanav 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 You need a software that allows you the ability to do segment download. These softwares will do the following. 1. Divide up the 1GB download into X segments. Out of these X segments, they will start downloading Y segments simultaneously. 2. In case of broken connection, you will be able to recover exactly from the point where you left off. 3. Start the software in background so that as soon as you are connected to the internet the software will start downloading the segments in background. You can find many softwares like this if you google. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepu 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 FlashGet is the best out there.... GetRight is also good... especially if the file has many mirrors!! But even with RConnect you will take more than a day to download a 1 GB file!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arun 795 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 FlashGet is what I recommend. Anyway, there is no way to increase the connection speed. Or else, download it from a Reliance WebWorld with surfing facilities, and then ask them to write to a CD, though it will cost you a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
himanav 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 If you are in no hurry to download the file, you can change the software settings to start downloading in background as soon as you connect to net. This whenever you get ON NET to do your usual work or check mail or rimweb, your 1 GB file will be download in the background. Just a note of caution, this might take months.

Thanks in advance for all useful information and help in this regard Mahendra Rana www.balajicrafts.com 25810[/snapback] Dear mahendra, Using reliance r-connect the average data transfer rate I am having is around 900MB per day , and most of this comes from 10:00PM to 09:00AM, for rest of the time data transfer rate is not that much good. My experience shows me that in night sometimes your even get 160/Kbps or 20KBPS data transfer rate, though it's higher than the DTR rate reliance talk about but my statistics shows me this. In day time dont expect anything more than 60/70 kbps to 7/10 kbps. Now regarding downloading 1GB file check if they are providing it's torrent and if you find one than use the any freely available bittorrent client to get that file. But if you dont find torrent of the file than ftp is ur only resource. Be aware of the download accelerator though, most of there claim is superfluous, the only facility they can provide is the ability to resume partial download, downloading from multiple sites (only if the site from where you are downloading provide this extension in there ftp server), recursive download and ability to be get leecher :-), but remember doesnt matter what these software claims, you will only get as much as the pipe between the server and your PC can sustain. So dont get frustrated and give some time to get it downloaded until you get some real broadband connection having a DTR of not less than 512Kbps/64KBPS, than you can certainly get it downloaded in 4-6 hrz, till then r-connect is far far good than BSNL'S 56Kbps dial-up services. I am posting the link regarding to bittorrent sites, maybe you will find it usefull, for more information you can always google about it. http://bittorrent.com/ the home site. http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ java based client it provides some real good features.
