I use Firefox on my laptop, and recently I have been trying to download a game setup. My Internet is horrible, ( usually 16.3 kb/sec ) and when it gets about half way (the file is 274MB) Firefox closes, and when I load it back up, it starts all over! It is wasting my time, and I can't get this file downloaded!!!

It is better to use an external Download Manager if you are on dial-up or have an unreliable connection.

An external Download Manager offers better support for resuming interrupted downloads than the built-in Firefox Downloads Manager.

Use an external Download Manager if you need download features not offered by the Firefox Download Manager.

You can use the FlashGot extension to integrate an external Download Manager in Firefox.
