Has anyone here ever had a absoloutely giant download, of say 700mb or so and been cut off by the server at 99% :mad: Does anyone have a really reliable isp?

depends if you're talking dialup or broadband. for BB i'd recommend Plusnet (www.plus.net) - they're cheap, very reliable (never been cut off or anything), and don't have d/l limits or any of that shit. for dialup we used to use fasthosts, who never cut us off like that or anything, but the connection was liable to hang sometimes (though i dunno if thats a common problem with dialup)
