Never heard of a program called GetRight?

You can pause downloads and the such like. And if someone happened to cancel your download by accident you could just resume, even if the computer turned off.

Enjoy your sleep!
 
Sheesh you must really really really want that download!

If you get any problems downloading it, then I'll more than happily download it for you and post it to you at cost (not a clue how much postage to Australia is though).

Ive been up for 22 hours now guarding the computer to make sure no one touchs a the download.
But because ive been up so long every thing sounds so loud and sharp. The budgie squarks and its like a nail going into my head.
MSN beeps its its like a hit to the face.
A bell rings and its like chewing on aluminum foil but in my brain.

Why does every thing get so enhanced when you have no sleep :(

Why guard a download for 22 hours? Just password protect the PC?
 
Your hearing is best towards the end of the day. You are also the shortest first thing in the morning.
 
I downloaded two 613 meg .iso files in under 10 minutes. Sorry just thought I would rub the sickness of uni connections in a bit.

stupid thing, and i dont know if this has been suggested...

setup a random screensaver with a password, set the timer to 1 minute... wait 1 minute for the screensaver to appear... then go to bed.
computer can't be accessed without a password, and download will continue in background....

simple... surely? :confused:

edit:

just read the rest of the thread... have some stars... quality stuff LOL :D

650mb ISO (Ubuntu) took 8 mins on 10meg NTL :D

Must be a good file to guard it so long :eek:
 
ITS DONE!!!!!! :D :D :D

And i put in a 6 hour sleep while every one was at school :p

I stuck a piece of paper on the computer screen with "DONT TOUCH THE COMPUTER" written on incase someone came home while i was sleeping

It took so long because of my 256k internet speed, but i think the file was being downloaded by a lot of people because it wasnt letting use all my upload speed :mad:
 
So, you were worried that someone in your family might get up at 2am, think "ooh, lets cancel that download", then find you sitting at the computer "guarding it", and that's somehoe better than them just stopping it?

Don't think anyone has figured that out yet. :confused:

Tell me if I'm living in a parallel universe or something, but if I was downloading some huge file and didn't want anybody cancelling it I'd probably have gone the "Hey guys, do me a favour and dont cancel my download. Thanks." route, then gone to bed.
