I have an up side and a downside to this.

Upside is that I have a 1.5mb/sec connection, the downside is that the downloads seem to break .. like .. the 700mb ones will get to 158mb and then it will say "download complete", then of course when i go to play it it doesnt work.

I can't use download programs either cause of the firewall my comp operates thru.

Its shitting me at the moment cause i really want these vids, are there any ideas?

You can use download managers like Getright and Download Accelerator. They use 'always resume' which means you can stop the download one day, and recommence from the spot a few days (even weeks) later.

Great for when the connection drops out all the time.

I used download acelerator to download a heap of car vid's from the site above, on my dial up.

Last month I downloaded 1.9 gig on my dial up !!! :)

Thanks kabab ... IE cache, I know what your talking about but its not like an instant thing its while im downloading from scratch, say about an hour into it it will just say download complete .. very annoying.

Jay: If you read my post you'll see that i mentioned that i cant use download programs cause of the firewall, i tried it already but thanks for the suggestion/ :)

INASNT: lol .. ppl have been calling you instant for ages but I can't really blame them. At least if your plates are INASNT (I dont know that thaey are) it'll sound like a fast name for a car anyway. :)

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
