Disconnected From The Server Problem

[Debbie]

Each time I try to download files that are greater than about 1.5Bb, I get a message "Disconnected from the server" in GetRight. FlashGet will not even start.

This happend before but just a few days ago the problem disappared and since yesterday it appeared again.

My IP assured me that there is no restriction on file size from their side. Could there be a problem from my side ?
Can I split the download in segments and download it segmented ?

1.5Bb isn't a recognizable number here. How many megabytes are you talking about?

[Dilitante1]

Bb is Biggiebytes, ya know? a 1 with a big collection o' 0s after it?

[Faramir1966]

I thinks she means gigabyte.
Because on my (german) keyboard the G and the B are next to each other.

[Debbie]

SORRY,SORRY. Forgive me for wrecking your brains. But I realy should have hit Gb, 1500 Mb.

Dilitante1. Thats is a nice moto to choose for yourself:

BIG mistake - this will get you a lot less help right there j/k

Unfortunately, I don't have anything useful to say. Sorry.

I have been under the impression that this is a Pro. forum like "Desktop Video"

[DGhost]

It used to be. not so much anymore.

that being said... there are tools out there that allow you to archive a file (or files) then split the archive into smaller files. if you are able to do that, it would probably help. if you have sufficent access rights on the server hosting the file it is definately possible. most RAR archive clients allow you to do this.

i've never had good luck with large single file data transfers (>600mb) over the internet. most of the times I have done it I have used either a custom transfer agent or the person providing it was able to split the files up.

"It used to be. not so much anymore"

I quite agree. I think it's stupid to allow a respected forum to degenerate this way.

I also consider it highly un ethical and amatureish (dilettantism) to spread details unrelated to the matter. Not that I care !

That said, Thanks very much for your advice

And I think it's stupid to offend the people one is asking for help.

If you don't like the tone here, don't visit. I am sure I won't care, since you don't seem to have any value to add to this forum. Maybe in DV, but certainly not here. A big part of what keeps many of us here is the nice tone, now that Matrox doesn't offer us a lot of reason to keep this community up anymore.

az,

If you read from the begining you will find out who is being stupid.

I only asked for help here because i taught that it was the best place to find it. What tone are you talking about?

Thank heaven for "stupid" people of my type otherwise you would'nt stand out

[James_D]

Wow.. people ease up!! ..

Debbie: is it from on specific server or just from all over, and since you are using getright if the server supports it, it should be able to resume pretty nicely.

James

[Debbie]

Thaks for your help, James.
It is'nt a matter of resuming. As you said getright is very good at that.

It appears to happen on large files exeeding 1.5Gb. So far it appears to be from just one server but have'nt tried elsewhere. I am not deeply concerned about the issue since i hardly ever require files of that size. I just wanted to know if this happens normally.

Debbie

[Dilitante1]

seeing you claim yourself a "pro", I suspect you played with your MTU settings, try setting them back to normal, and try the DL again, or a large DL off another site to see if it is site specific.....



as for my sig it pertains to more visitors than the regulars, and as for accusing others of being "ameteurish", your requests for info recently show us who is the real ameteur...

Google is your friend

[Debbie]

Dilettante1, You get me wrong, I am no Pro. at internet problems and that's why I came here for help.

It is a fresh install of WinXP+SP1 and have'nt set antything. As regards the server, please read my previous reply.

My field is desktop editing and the little I know I am always prepared to share with others.

Seeing now that you are a pro at spying I would have taught that it would have been possible for you to solve the possible issue if there is one at all.

Thanks anyway.
