I need a real program that will lock in on downloads.
Lock in on downloads? I don't understand what you mean. ???

For downloads I have been using for years Free Dowload Manager, one of the advantages is that it tries several connections at the same time, so, if the server allows it, it can join those several connections to make a faster download. It also resumes downloads, if the server allows it.

I have also used with good results JDownloader.

They are both free. :)

Many moons ago I had a free downloader program that would lock in on the host and keep at it till it was done, Even if the signal went to zero. Now if my signal drops say less than 50% the connection drops and I have to start all over even if I was 99% done. It would make a connection somehow to maintain a packet drop or stream very constant. Improving all downloads by a huge factor. You could even pause them and start later.

You can try wget, it's not the most user friendly (it's a command line tool) but it has many features.

I don't know, but two weeks ago I had to open a Dell laptop and it was the most difficult to open I ever saw.

Are they new or old?

OK ArMaP

The details. Yes both are old.

Dell Inspiration 1150 lap top. I got it with the blue screen of death. Origional HD

Dell Demensions 4600 tower new serial hd the old was not. Both options available.

Legal software available.

Windows
ME ,97,2000, XP Pro Beta verson. XP Pro service 2 and 3, Windows 7 Also Lenux Fedora.

License keys for all but the beta version.

lap top will boot from beta XP and Ferora will not read others as bootable disk.

Tower will boot on Fedora Beta and also tries to read windows 7 I am currently playing with that

I hate Dell >:(

Could it be a media problem? That happened to me some years ago, I couldn't install XP on my sister's computer until I tried to make a new CD.

If the computers can boot from an USB drive you could try that.

OK
I wont rant but dell ticks me off. Been reading and you have to have a library of disks to get these things going again using windows. Different build dates. So many comp going to the dump because of this.

So what about Lenux? Any users out there? I try to give these old comp to the needy. Lexus seems to be the way to go.

Any ideas

I use Linux on some computers, but I'm not a great fan, as any extra configuration may turn out much complex than it could be.

Today I had a good example of that: I wanted to install something on Linux (Ubuntu 11.04) so I tried the both the command line and the GUI versions of the installer, but neither was able of installing it. The problem is that Ubuntu makes a new version every year (or something like that) and they move the older versions to a different server, so although they still exist they do not exist on the server where the installer is searching. After adding the server with the older versions to the list of servers everything worked as smoothly as expected.

Ubuntu and Mint are usually considered the most user-friendly Linux distributions.

Hey All

What browser uses the least amount of ram? I am rebuilding an old lap top and at idle 40% ram usage. Update to exployer 8 requires a 17% increase of ram usage. This old thing only haves 512 of ram :P
