Downloading for Dial-up users, It's surprising what you can accomplish.

I don't know if I am the first or the last person to discover how to do this. unsure.gif

Assuming you run Windows, - are you able to start a download
and later stop it and turn off your computer for the night -
then the next day either resume your download or resume some
other partially completed download?

I can do that. I use a free program called TrueDownloader that
lets me do that. There are other programs, but I am not familiar
with them.

It doesn't actually speed up the download, it just provides you
with more flexibility. wink.gif
