internet connection problem
hi,
when i am trying to download a large number of files (not at the same time, I usually only download 3-4 files at the same time even I can ) from a particular website overseas. It often gives some files that are corrupted, (e.g zip files cannot be extracted, video files are not finished) but when I download the files again, the file usually has no problem.
I am using 100M broadband in Hong Kong, where the internet connection is the best in Asia. What's the reason behind? Is it the problems on my side or on the remote server side? or we both have problems? (server and user)
Usually when I download a file that originally claimed to be , for example, 300MB, but it could stop downloading at 280MB or 290MB. But I don't get any warning message or error message. This could be a problem especially for video files because incomplete video can still be played, but there might be a downgrade in quality that one might not notice.
Is there any better downloading programs than Firefox or Chrome with better downloading algorithm? At least it will notice me if the download stops or interrupted in the midway of the download
Thanks
