@bullthorn:
OK, here is how I download so much...
first of all I have a 24MBPS line, that lets me download ~1700kb/sec...
BUT
yahoo briefcase stuff seems to be capped at 25-30kb/sec per download.
SO
using flashget (that works perfect for me on Vista32bit/IE) I can get 8x30=~240kb/sec
it is true that u can get from 3 different accounts data, if you let links long enough they just die.
THUS
I actually use 2 PC's (my main one and a mITX fileserver I have, side by side)
I max out one , then creat lists on the other... I practically download with ~450kb/sec from briefcases.... Using flashget makes it too easy
Have no doubt that I do get the files and will upload them, I have uploaded in Underground Gamer so far ~1TB.
I LOVE old pc-games of the time I was a teenager, there is no way I will let them die. Even RIPS have their own special magic, I am very happy when I see that some are actually original scene releases with installers and all the goodies.
It is not easy to co-ordinate so many downloads, but I am used to it, I was actually active in the 1998-2001 scene... not much of a big deal but helps me
So if you are doing 1996 , then I guess I will take
2000
ps. you say flashget does not work for you? you do know that now it is freeware and you can grab it here:
