is it a firewall or something built into the router?

I think whenever the wireless connection hiccups (stops for a second) the whole download stops, and then doesn't come back on with the wireless a second later.

Just a theory. I've noticed sometimes a page doesn't load, and won't no matter how long you wait, but then will work fine if you reload it or something.

Some download managers let you stop and restart downloads. I wonder if that would help or not?

I'd have to find a free one first.

Ok, I'm trying again on Rapidshare, in which the mod is separated into "chunks" of about 100 MB. Started on the first one, it only made it to a bit over 300 KB. The downloading animation is still happening, but otherwise there's no indication that it's being downloaded. I'm going to leave it for the amount of time it says it should take to download, but as far as I can tell nothing is happening.

Wierd. At least now that I know you can download the mod in parts I can download it on my wife's computer when I get home tomorrow. It will take a few days (I forsee something like 5 hours per section) but at least the parts are small enough to fit on my thumb drive and transfer one by one to my gaming computer.

At least it looks like it will be worth it.

Ok, I have an idea of what's wrong. I downloaded a download manager, and it was able to tell me what was happening. Apparently, a couple seconds into downloads they stop with a "Access denied. Invalid Username or Password" message.

I know the password, but because I just plug my computer into the router (it's not equipped for wireless), I'm never prompted for it.

Now I have one night to figure it out, before it's too late and I'm limited to dialup and a much slower wireless connection. I asked about it in the hard and sofware forum, and asked a couple forum members I know, but I get the feeling I'll run out time first.

Hey wish I could help but I haven't downloaded it myself. My best recommendation would be to post in the BC forum.

Unfortunately I think this is more of a general download question than a BC specific one. The person I'm housesitting for must have some kind of security thing set up so you can't download unless you have the right username and password. I have both, since my computer isn't set up for wireless I just plug it into the router, and am not prompted for a username or password.
