I'm trying to download software for my printer and it's size is pretty big and as I have a dial-up connection, it's will take about 20 straight hours! I'm wondering if there is any software that I can get that can store files I download and then when I disconnect they stay there and when I reconnect I can start where I left off! Please help me! Thanks

Do a google search for "download manager" Find one that can resume broken downloads. As long as the site you're downloading from supports it (most do) you'll be able stop the download and pick up where you left off later.

I have dial-up and limewire. I always close it when I'm not using it. It will run even after closing it.  Look for it in the bottom right task bar.Right click it and exit.\n\n(It's nice to see I'm not the only one who will wait 20 minutes for a song.) haha  (my Dial-up costs $11 a month.)

I had to do this too and I took it to Staples.  It didn't cost a lot and they backed up all my files and restarted everything.  Good Luck!!!

<%\ndim oConn : Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")\noConn.Open "put your connection string here"\noConn.Execute("Update MemberDownloads Set counter = counter - 1 Where MemberID = " & Session("MemberID"))\n%>\n\nI hope you know ASP well enought to know how you will need to tailor this for your application.  And no, there's no way to confirm that a download completed.\n\nI don't know why that line is truncating.  It should read "ADODB.Connection".

you can get improved downloads by getting the free program called   free download manager,  it is free!  it will not speed of your computer but it makes more channels available for the data to enter you computer so you get the data a little faster,, also if you have to reconnect it starts were you left off so you do not have to start all over,, just go to www.freedownloadmanager.com or do a general search for it,, there are lmany sites were you can download free stuff like games, security programs,,, try tucows, or just type "free downloads" "freeware" etc in the search bar!!!!

I don't think there's a way to shut off the sharing after a certain time every single day.  the only thing you could probably do is just go into your Printers section and "unshare" it when you leave work.  that's kind of a pain the in butt, but it's probably the only thing you can do, short of stealing the printer cable and taking it home with you (that would be pretty funny, though).

"messes up" or "slows down"??\n\nLimewire is probably the best, so I would recommend using it if you can.  Actually FrostWire is a little bit better than Limewire.  It looks exactly the same but it's better (trust me).\n\nIf you can't use that, I would recommend either "Soulseek" or "WinMX".\n\nSoulseek - \nhttp://www.slsknet.org/slsk156c.exe\n\nWinMX - (pretty good, but you have to apply a patch to it -- long story -- so if you're not into doing all that, just use soulseek)\nhttp://www.winmxgroup.com/Install-3.0-3.54b4.exe

I too used to work on Dial Up and it is a pain in the butt. I now have DSL and it's a ton better. I'd seriously think about upgrading that internet connection.\n\nIf you give me your e-mail address I will e-mail you the install file. I have a yahoo e-mail address that I am pretty sure I can send a file that size through to you on. If you are interested please contact me at oboedude01@yahoo.com.

It really depends on the speed of your internet connection. Such that your internet speed connection is 64K (64 kilobyte per second), and the files that you have downloaded is 6.25 megabyte, you just divide the amount of data downloaded and the amount of data per second.\n\n6.25 Mb / 64 Kb\n= 6400 Kb / 64 Kb\n= 100 seconds

Are you saying the connection cable is stuck somewhere?\n\nI have the 5L, and it connects via parallel cable.\n\nwhen connecting the printer cable to the computer simply leave the printer cable connected to the printer as is on the male end, (2) triangle fasteners will prong down and help keep the attachment fastened.\n\nTake the female end, and plug it into the only connection that it will fit into on the back of your computer.\nThats it -- nothing extra difficult.\n\nIf youre saying you cannot unfasten the little triangles...well pull them out from the tip of the triangle.  They will flop outwards, unless stuck by something - possibly dried soda or what not.\n\nYou can purchase a parellel to USB connector they have them.  Cant say if they will work .. you might need to download a driver -- I have never needed to use one - but I know theyre out there.\nTigerdirect, pricewatch, any online store.  \nRarely ever saw them at best  buy -- although I think I saw one at CompUSA\nBest deal...a computer convention or online.\n\ngood luck -- hope it helps

The higher the number of users, generally the faster your entire file will download. Because on ARES you're not downloading an entire file from one user, but partial files from a number of different users. So the more users are online with the file you're trying to get, the better the chance that when one of them finishes downloading another one will be right behind it to continue.\nAlso, in your control panel make sure that you're not set to download too many files at one time. With high speed internet connections, between seven and ten is a good number. If you have dial up, I wouldn't recomend trying to download more that two or three at a time.

search www.download.com for printer control or something. There's some great stuff on there.

because you are using dial-up, the songs and videos especially will be choppy and freeze... not really enough bandwidth to carry all that info to your computer that quickly...

I have a couple of suggestions.  First, I'd install a local FTP server to make sure that the problem really is in the code and not in the speed of your network.  I've included a link to one server below, but you can find others using your favorite search engine.\n\n500MB seems like a very small amount of data.  Are you sure you want to use multi-threading?  Could you start multiple copies of your program?  If you decide to go with threading, I'd upgrade to Visual Basic 2005 if you don't have it already - I included a link to the free version below.\n\nIn VB2005, there's a new component for threading called BackgroundWorker.  I've linked to one example of it's use below -- but MSDN has a lot of material on it, including examples.
