The download to Rose Online is just one huge 417 MB file and the server keeps reseting. And worse, at around 90 MB, it always slows down so much that I feel like just quitting. Is there a way around the server reset? I want this game so bad, and in the time I spent downloading it I could have downloaded it for real many times if Gravity set prospective players up with 5 Game Download files.

I'd appreciate any help on this.

Addition: Isn't there some kind of download cue software that allows downloads to be interupted and then continued?

If you use Firefox, there's an extension that modifies the download manager, located here. If you install it and select the option to have the manager open in a new tab, there will be a pause and stop buttons next to the download. Click pause and it'll pause the download.

Try getting Flashget. Its a download manager/accellerator thingy. It can pause and stuff even if you close your computer.

Thank you, WIS. :)
