damn...all that time down the drain!
i was trying to download a movie clip of john (johan) gielen, spinnin @ trance energy from Kazaa. its a huge download(around 165 mb)...and all i got is my wimpy little 56k.
i begin tha download for a few hours, but due to sleep deprivation, i disconnect and decide to finish later on.
i wasnt online at all till now, i check the download....its not there. the .DAT file that was the download in progress isnt in my shared folder any more.
now i have to start from scratch!!!! the largest file ive ever attempted to download w/ my wimpy little modem, and now i gotta start over!

here is a thought. Send a CDR and a self addressed return envelope to a Chicago TA and they can burn it onto disc for you. Are you really going to let your modem run for a day just for that 11 minute set?

Dont get me wrong, the set is good, and the visuals within Trance Energy are simply amazing from that year. and i was wrong it is 14:31 minutes long according to my footage. Let her rip all nite and just pray you can resume it if it fails again

lol.. 160 megabytes doesn't even TOUCH hardcore for a 56k modem. Hardcore is downloading beatmania 5th and 6th mix (2 playstation games)... grand total is well over 600 megs xDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Or just get yourself a superb conection like I have, 165mb is about one tenth I download in one day. And I let my parents pay for it
Life can be good!

Some people -believe it or not- are citizens of the worlds only superpower but unfortunately still use a smoke signal connection for internet

Some people here within this "great superpower" still live in boxes under bridges.... some can barely afford to put scraps of food in their mouth... yet others in this country blow money like there is no tomorrow. (did you know that almost every lotto winner that wins over 30 million dollars ends up filing for bankrupcy??)

I download files that big all the time on my 56K! The biggest files I downloaded were 3 650 MB Mandrake Linux 8.2 CD images. Total was 1.95 GB! I did that over a 2 week period using www.LinuxISO.org and GetRight to download them.
damn...all that time down the drain!
