One of our Word Splash Pro users was having trouble downloading large files over their dial-up modem. The solution they found and told us about was a program called GetRight by Headlight Software. This software accelerates file downloads, resuming/recovering from errors, scheduling, dialing, file searching, etc.. No more corrupted or lost files! After installing it they were able to easily download the 11 Meg Word Splash Pro installation file using their instable AOL dial-up connection.
Plus, GetRight is available with a FREE trial!
Here are quick links so you may download or purchase GetRight:
How it works:
GetRight is a Download Manager that helps you download files from the Internet.
Most people have already experienced the problem...you are downloading a file, and your modem gets disconnected, or call waiting interrupts, or your computer crashes, or the phone line is noisy and interrupts and corrupts the file, or any number of other problems. Then you have to restart the download from the very beginning, losing all the time you had already spent. GetRight solves this problem by allowing you to resume a download. If you got part of the file before the problem, GetRight will restart the download in the middle so it only gets the rest of the file, without having to restart from the beginning. This makes downloading your files much easier and faster.
GetRight has many other more advanced features to help you download the files--from re-dialing the modem automatically to turning off the computer when it is done getting the files (so you can just leave it alone to do the work!) You can even set a time when it should dial the modem to get the files...so it can do all the work in the middle of the night while you sleep.
