Please log in for more thread options About once every six months, I move data from my company's servers to a local 500 GB drive. I need to download about 80 GB from this out-of-state server. The best sustained download rate I am getting is about 425 kbps. The aggregate rate over the past nine days of 250 kbps with restarts after disconnects. At this rate, it will take 30+ days. My connection is extreme fast - repeatedly, I am get 4000 - 5000 kbps 1) Are there any client applications that will improve the speed? I can't alter the server or VPN in any way. Moreover, these files don't exist on an FTP. 2) Do any of these download accelerators help the fundamental transfer speed? 3) Would a download manager help assist for broken downloads? The connections comes down about once ever two days. Data: Cisco VPN client Cable modem for connectivity thanks in advance ************* Promote alternative energy www.TerraPass.com | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Not being funny, but for once every 6 months why not send them an external usb hard disk, then get the data copied to that and sent back to you ? A download manager would help with the broken downloads, as far as accelerators are concerned you still have to shift the data, depending what that data is and how compressible that is would be the key to whether it's good for you or not. simon | |||||||||||||

is sensitive. While my intentions are good, that would be very paranoid about my activities. > Nomad wrote:
