- Hi,
- I have a slow connection for downloading as well, but what I do is get
- the download starting then set it up to download while i'm away from the
- system.
-
- I have a UNIX account. To download when you're not logged in:-
-
- 1) log into system as normal
- 2) start ftp as normal
- 3) once it has started downloading press CTRL and Z
- 4) It will say 'Stopped'
- 5) Now type bg
- 6) repeat the above for each file.
- 7) Once you have finished, log out.
-
- The files you asked it to download will be downloaded while you are
- logged out, you can come back later that day and they will be there in full.
-
- Hope this helps.
-
- I will be away for just over 1 week in case you want to ask anything. If
- you mail me, then i will reply as soon as i can.
