Too bad this one doesn't support resume from last interrupted download. So it's basically useless in my 56k line. My line is dropping every 5 minutes. :(  Signature@~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

I dunno whether Hong Kong's phone companies require a special line in order to use a computer over it (requiring additional charges of course). I would give her a call later....

Conspiracy theory: the phone companies are using special tool to interrupt any digital connection over normal voice line. :) Signature@~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

You know even with a phone plugged into the phone jack there can be trouble on the line. You have a long running download, the line has trouble on it with the connection from your phone company to your residence, and the connection drops just long enough to kill the download. The phone company can test the line if you ask them. It may be an out of pocket cost for you to have the test done. You don't think that it's a possibility that there can be trouble on the line? It happens all of the time. Did you disable the BITS service?

I didn't disable BITS. But i find WUD not working very well when I clicked <Cancel>. It basically didn't respond. There is no 'automatic resume' as well...
