Hello, I have a poor phone connection, loose the connection about 40% of the
time while downloading.
I found that going back to the site and starting the download over that at
least 30% of the time the download will start were it left off. I suppose the
site has the ability to find the incomplete download and finish the job.
I lost one download with 45 seconds left on a 2.3 hour download, this one
needed to be started from the beginning.
You could try a third party download manager.
take care.

Also,
I found a Download Manager called "Fresh Download" by Fresh Devices.
Anybody heard of it ???
 
Yes, Fresh Download is a freeware download manager that doesn't include
spyware. I advise you to stay away from programs such as FlashGet
(JetCar), Download Accelerator Plus and Go!Zilla.

Another free download manager that I quite like is LeechGet
(www.leechget.net).
 
Free Download Manager is what I use. Works exceedingly well. Fresh
products don't integrate well.
