There was a reason I told you to use the torrent. Your connection fails, your routing is bad... take your pick.

What are the advantages of torrent download?

You can resume then even if your connection fails again and again like it did with your first tries.

Hm... but my problem wasnt with connection, im sure. Because it kept connected even when the DL stucked. Anyways, ill use it!

There is a difference between your connection to your internet service provider and your connection to the server your download from

You can have a great connection to your isp and still have failed downloads due to routing problems.

I think i know whats the problem, but its complicated to tell here.

I just hope this time the download will end... because im very anxious to play SS!

Hey, i'll have to get out soon. So, with this Torrent thing, if i go back to that page and click in the download again, am i going to start from where i was? ( 11 % )

I'd recommend keeping the page open and the pc running when using the torrent thing with the browser.
I can only vouch for utorrent on the restart. So basicly: If you can let your pc run for 4h (or whatever the estimated time on your last download was) do so. Else do it tomorrow.
