Hello everybody. I was wondering if it was ok to use gozilla with the livesets download page.
This is the first time I have tried to use it and my browser is becoming unresponsive with a RHC and download wiht gozilla.
After all the years of saving as... my XP pro and poor old IBM are not getting along and tend to freeze. hence I thought a gozilla might help for resume.
I ask because there is no mention of it on the livesets page while the singles page suggests its use.
The last thing I want is to get banned. so I am wary.
Any suggestions are valued...
cheers, jc |

hey innominate!!!
nice to see more aussies here, welcome!!! :):):)
anyway, to answer ur q...rhc *should* work, i mean it seems to work for everyone else here (i guess)
but gozilla i think should be okay, only flashget, download accelerator & mass downloader aren't supposed to be used afaik
well, gl!!! |

I think although it asks u not 2 use Flashget, DAP & mass downloader etc. that you can use em. The reason its asking u not 2 use those programs is because by default they download files in multiple 'streams'/connections so if u set it to just 1 connection/stream then i don't think the TA webmaster will mind.
So anyway, i think u can use ANY dl program so long as it only uses a SINGLE connection to the server. I could be wrong tho.. |

Depending on the server you connect to it could be setup to only accept 1 simultaneous connection per IP.
Also while some download accelerator programs attempt to mask the 'user-agent' in an attempt to thwart mechanisms that are put in place to stop them, my servers will still stop them. This is built into apache but for other web servers I use (webfs/thttpd) I made custom modules to handle multiple connections from the same IP and to reject the vast majority of them...
And for those that don't mask the 'user-agent' they're redirected and not allowed to even attempt the transfer.
Sooo... use Gozilla.. If you're looking for the technical reason why GetRight won't work properly most of the time then go here http://www.getright.com/webmaster.html |
