If you have a poor connection and have difficulties downloading our binaries...

1. If your modem (or whatever) disconnects often, consider using FTP client program with REGET. Most of our large files that are provided here via HTTP are also accessible via FTP. FTP protocol has REGET facility, allowing to resume the download from the point where the connection had dropped. That is, if you downloaded 9 megabytes of 10 megabytes total, you need not start from the very beginning.
   Unfortunately not all FTP clients support REGET. Here's the list of clients that do:
   • any UNIX command line FTP client we know of.
   • FTP explorer - ftp client for Windows95 and Windows NT 4.0. Can automatically re-connect to the remote site and resume the download.
   • CuteFTP - ftp client for Windows 3.1 and Windows95
   • WS_FTP professional - ftp client for Windows 3.x, 95 and NT
   • Bullet Proof FTP - ftp client for Windows95 and NT
2. There are other programs that provide similar functionality with HTTP protocol. One of them is:
   • GetRight
   The server you are downloading from must support partial requests in order for you to be able to resume the download.
3. Next, there's an utility with a self-descriptive name, ReGet, that can employ both FTP anfd HTTP protocols.
4. Switching from one Internet provider to another (if you have more than one) may improve the situation.
5. Try again at another time of day.
