rootango Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 the downloaded bin files i have for DCS world and the p51 were broken when my browser crashed (they were almost completed) browsers dont alow resume download functions unless you previously used a download manager when you started the file (which i didnt), and i dont want to completely restart the files (limited monthly mb limits here, dont want to waste several GB of what i already have in files) i am able to log into the russian ftpp address the files came from, but the folders are empty and i cant see any content in the folders (tried pasv and non-pasv, no difference) what ftp address can i login to resume the files plz ? The decision not to start world war three was not taken in the Kremlin or White House, but in the sweltering control room of a russian submarine being depth charged by US destroyers during the Cuban missile crisis. In response Captain Valentin Savitsky ordered the B-59's ten kiloton nuclear torpedo to target the aircraft carrier USS Randolf,which would have been vaporised. This launch required the consent of all three Russian senior officers aboard, and only Vasili Arkhipov refused permission.

rootango Posted September 14, 2013 Author Posted September 14, 2013 my previous post mentioned my limitation of monthly mb limits, torrents "waste" a lot of mb by also uploading simultaneously (good when you intend to share or contribute, but bad if you are on a monthly mb limit and near the end of your quota :) ) solved my problem by truncating the .part tag added to the filenames by doing the browser dld, then succeeded in resuming the files from the russian ftp site (even though i couldnt see any actual files in that folder) hope that might help somebody else in the future :) The decision not to start world war three was not taken in the Kremlin or White House, but in the sweltering control room of a russian submarine being depth charged by US destroyers during the Cuban missile crisis.

Including to sub-dialup speed. solved my problem by truncating the .part tag added to the filenames by doing the browser dld, then succeeded in resuming the files from the russian ftp site (even though i couldnt see any actual files in that folder) hope that might help somebody else in the future :) Which browser are you using? I can resume on Chrome just fine. (Unless the server itself is throwing fits.) Also note that Torrent allows you to resume files even if you didn't originally download via torrent; just point it to where the parts are located and upon initiating the torrent it will analyze what you already have and continue where you were. (I have used this to seed DCS torrents that I had previously downloaded from tester FTP.)

If they've never heard about the advantages of distributing digital goods via Torrent (or they don't care because they think you're the 1% that doesn't matter), I'm sure they'll understand the term "Account Cancellation" :D
