BROKEN CRESCENT: Emperor of the East PBM

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.

Why don't yuo try the Torrent? That's what I did.

Does that work differently somehow than downloading it the regular way?

Someone told me my friend might have a firewall. Too bad I can't call this late. I have the password, just no idea where to enter it.

I guess I'll try their torrent download.

Try that, might work better.

Hmmm...it seems to be working, but at about a quarter the speed of downloading it the regular way.

Never used torrent before, I always thought it was supposed to be very fast.

Does it uploading for other people slow things down during my download? If so, could someone tell me how to disable that until after I'm done downloading?
