mustahid Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 1) Version 1.09 2) EDGE Modem (around 150-180 kpbs) 3) USB EDGE Modem 4) NA 5) XP, Symantec i download anime torrents from www.realitylapse.com ... but for each file they set a limited time within which that file can be downloaded... say for 2 hrs... after 2 hrs even if my download is 99%... the authentication is taken off and i again have to download the file again... now... this problem can be solved if i can change the URL of the file i am downloading... say i have put a download and went to sleep... maybe at 50% the download stopped for some reason and i could not reset it... so in the morning i go to the site and i can get a new URL to download the same file... which will again start from 0%... if somehow i can replace the URL in my already 50% downloaded file... the download will continue from that stage... this is possible in one other download manager (the name i am not mentioning here)... but i do not want to use that coz i like bitcomet so much and have been using for the last 4 yrs... so... any suggestions???

kluelos Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 You lost me there. The url isn't IN the file you're downloading in the first place, so can't be replaced in the second. You obviously mean something else, I just can't figure out what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greywizard Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Have you tried putting the new URL in the Mirrors section? *You needn't post the same question in several sections of the forum. The moderators are reviewing ALL the new topics.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UnUsual Suspect Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 If your talking about downloading torrents, then you can stop the torrent and do a manual rehash to restore it to it's current level of completion, but if your talking about direct downloads via http or ftp, then I think your going to have to follow the rules this site sets up for its queuing system.

mustahid Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 i did a duplicate post after finding out that i posted the first one in the wrong section... actually the problem i am facing is purely for direct download (and from a specific scenario at that), not torrents... so this post shouldnt be here... i also PMed the first Tech Staff (kluelos) who replied my post... and also tried to delete the post here but could not... anyways.. i think if it is posted in the right section... people can think the right way and i possible can have a solution...

The UnUsual Suspect Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The problem with direct downloads is if the download fails, for any reason, the entire download is lost. This is why methods like bittorrent were created. There have been attempts to resolve this shortcoming, like the ability to stop and resume a download, but this requires support from the server, so your file/s can be hash checked and only pieces that are incomplete can be downloaded again, however this technology cannot be implemented while using their authenticating process. In order to have resume support, the entire file must be available to download unrestricted. I don't believe your going to find a solution to this problem. The website that set this up most likely assumes the time limit is sufficient for any of their users to successfully download the entire file. If it is not, I suggest you contact them regarding this.
