For many distros, I found the Australian www.internode.net to be the best bet. Is there something better to download from ? I really need some suggestion as I need the best speed to download well in the night, 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM.
I use downthemall extention of firefox for downloads, and its too touchy about the files being downloaded. For even slightly complex conditions, it suddenly throws some error and download needs to be restarted. I can't resume cancelled or timed out downloads in this stupid download manager and chunks are saved in a seperate temporary folder instead of the download location being used.
So I need a mirror which is uninterruptive, allows resume after many days, throws no time out errors, and is very fast. |
Try using downloaderforx. This is a good d/l manager for Linux.
By the way, what do you do with all those downloaded software?
