I think i hit a nerve (if i could do that with every
post we could have anarchy on the
list!!!!Mwahahahahahah) The reason i don't like pdf is
because half the time the stuff in said format won't
save to my hard drive (my computer hates me I never
know when my net access is gonna crash so i haveta
have my daily dose of SR saved to the hard drive to
keep from going insane) and also it makes for poor
online reading for some reason (like i said my 'puter
is just screwy). And some times it just doesn't plane
load !!!


Frag That,

Aaron

::jus' fraggin' dies:: Okay...this is cute. This goes back to what I'd said about some
people or their computers one or the other not being able to handle what's out there, but
Aaron I don't know if you read it yet, but in Adam's last post he pointed out what I'd
missed - that items would also probably be available in HTML, which can be opened in Word
and saved in a Word format.

You're probably using a plug-in to read pdf files. right click and choose
"save shortcut as", "save link as", or something similar. Also, if
your
connect is unstable, I highly reccomend a download manager such as
Getright or Read Download. (both are free with sponsored use)

Adam, will the site in question support resuming? I haven't checked out
the dumpshock forums yet so I don't even know where if any place is
intended to host ...

Or FlashGet, or Go!Zilla... there's quite a few products that have this
feature now. Very handy if you're on a dialup collection, especially as you
can queue a bunch of downloads, and then let them download when you leave
the computer. I'm sure someone can point to Mac and *nix equivalents (Does
wget handle resuming?)

Yes, the FanPro site supports resuming. (And from where I'm sitting, it's
quite fast...)
