Lara Severi Member Posts: 937 From:Darlington, CO Durham, England Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 05-20-2001 04:06 AM Yeah, I was thinking about using FTP, but I don't know how to use it!! I am with Tinyonline (which is crap) but all the rest are way too expensive so it has to be that way!! BUT, I think all FTP programmes must be pretty much the same?? Can anyone help me use it?

Flash Member Posts: 167 From:right from the blue skies Registered: May 2001 | posted 05-20-2001 04:15 AM Well, ask your parents it they'd buy you a DSL or ISDN or something. To Torrok: How fast is your DSL? I mean, how many KB per second do you achieve when downloading or uploading the file? IP: Logged

DaleR Member Posts: 45 From: Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 05-20-2001 12:19 PM Just a suggestion... Since the wads are normally 3 megs or so, why not use Winzip to put them onto floppy disks. It'll allow you to put them onto more than one disk. You can also make them self-extracting so that you can unzip them without having to have the program on the one at school. Just a thought???

Lara Severi Member Posts: 937 From:Darlington, CO Durham, England Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 05-21-2001 01:21 AM Floppy disks only go up to 1.40 megs!!! The wads take up 1.80 or more!!! I don't have the time to go on messenger so if any one can e-mail me instructions on how to use FTP please do!! My e-mail is l.severi@tinyonline.co.uk Thanx and I expect an e-mail soon!!! ------------------ IP: Logged
blacknile Member Posts: 103 From:Uphoria Registered: Jan 2001 | posted 05-21-2001 02:17 AM What speed do get when you are just surfing the net? It should be around 4-5 kb a second. To test it double click on the internet icon ( the 2 flashing monitors in the right bottom corner of your screen) and see what it says. I had the same problem with my connection. It turned out to be a crappy phone line. Your downloads will be no faster than the speed of your connection. So a FTP program won't help you if it is a server or phone line problem. the Phone company said the lines are only guaranteed for 5 years. Have you plugged into someone elses phone line. If not i would try that. Or get a decent ISP. Like the one i am one now. I was just downloading a file at 220KB/sec. Took 1 min to d/l a 10mg file. ------------------ Lest I cause the dead to outnumber the living IP: Logged
