Remember download managers?
Getright was my choice for years, until it decided to scrap an entire 600MB iso I had downloaded over 56k, and start over. Getright pissing me off was thebmain reason why I got pretty good at perl 25 years ago - I decided to write my own download manager.
Sounds like a villain origin story
I'm not denying anything
Where my download accelerator plus gang at
What a blast from the past! Totally forgot that these were a thing lol.
