Question regarding downloading...

This may go against the site rules, so feel free to delete, admins...

Anyway, I was attempting to download *fill in the blank* using Flashget, but once the download got to 100%, it started a 'download time remaining' timer of 12 hours.  I let it run overnight, and in the morning the timer was gone, and it still said 100%, but there was nothing in the 'downloaded' section.  I clicked on the box showing the download, and the 12 hour timer started again.  What gives?

What is Fill In The Blank?

Where did you download it from?

Did you try again?

Also, what browser?

"Fill in the blank" is what I was attempting to download, and no, it wasn't "sexy pronz".

I was downloading from iso-hunt, using Flashget.  My browser is Firefox, and yes, I tried it more than once, and tried more than one listing.

Ok.....but would I be right in assuming what you are downloading is a full version of a not-free game?

You may assume whatever you wish...

Like I said in the beginning, I knew this was a sketchy question, which is why I gave my blessing for deletion.  I just figured it didn't hurt to ask.

Ok, here is a suggestion. Try it without the download manager.

[BC_Programmer]

if this is a P2P program- it's possible that the timer that started afterwards was for "uploading".

Did you try "open containing Folder"?

EDIT: Bleh, it's flashget. oh well.

[roccenstein]

I'll try it without the manager (why didn't I think of that?).


In regards to opening it, it doesn't give me any option to do that.  It says 100% in the download window, but it doesn't show up in the downloaded section of the manager, so the only options I have are to stop/start/pause/cancel, etc. the download.

Quite a few ISO's out there are built either crudely or incomplete...
Not to mention the extra little packages included...
Good Luck.
