I have a mate who had problems with his cable connection but as the previous
poster said a little effort sorted him out and he has never stopped thanking
me since ;)

I can download 30 MB from Blackhole or SpeedSims in a minute or two
every time. But places like DrivingItalia or M4driving are fairly fast but
often hang mid download numerous times till I get it. Part of it is my
fault in that it's often new big mods that have been just released, so me
and everyone's dog are trying to download at the same time. This is part of
the problem but not exclusively. I'm sure there are some sites that have
slow, spotty servers and that the problem is on that end not with me. Not
that I'm complaining, I appreciate anyone who creates great things and gives
me an opportunity to download them. It just frustrates me when I've got 170
MB of a 200MB file and it craps out. I just thought it would be more
efficient for me and everyone else if I could use the 170MB and reconnect to
the end instead of junking that 170MB and starting from scratch.

It's faster and if for whatever reason, the servers "hicup", it
will resume automatically without worries.
I recommend Flashget.
