        • 2006-02-15 04635, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        What is "hello kitty" all about?

        • 2006-02-15 04605, 2006

      • nikki_
        sapping people like me's will to live through too much cuteness

        I think it's cute, but that doesn't mean I want kiddy toys, pens, pencils, make-up, hair brushes, alarm clocks, plushies, toothbrushes, pads of paper, tins, pencil sharpeners, bags, pencil cases, and whatever else I've forgotten all in bright hello kitty pink.

        I would make an exception for the toaster.

        Anyone come across http://www.hugeurl.com/ or http://hugeurl.wiggy.net/ before? (you may have to use http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.hugeurl.… , as the site appears to be unresponsive)

        • 2006-02-15 04606, 2006

      • nikki_
        yes

        • 2006-02-15 04627, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Found any use for it?

        no

        • 2006-02-15 04619, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        There's apparantly a site somewhere where you can create obscenely long e-mail addresses, too

        • 2006-02-15 04627, 2006

      • nikki_
        seen that too

        • 2006-02-15 04607, 2006

      • nikki_ hasn't paid much attention to it

        • 2006-02-15 04611, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Ah. So you don't know if it's a good idea or not?

        • 2006-02-15 04621, 2006

      • nikki_
        correct

        • 2006-02-15 04630, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it, but I'd still love to know the other side of the story

        • 2006-02-15 04635, 2006

      • BGreeNZ decides to download the latest versions of MBtagger and Picard, for the hell of it

        • 2006-02-15 04645, 2006

      • nikki_
        heh

        • 2006-02-15 04658, 2006

      • nikki_
        latest version of mbtagger is only... um... about 2 years old

        • 2006-02-15 04638, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Ah. Then I probably already *have* the latest version

        • 2006-02-15 04646, 2006

      • BGreeNZ grumbles when Mozilla doesn't know what to do with "application/binary" and has to manually open his download manager

        • 2006-02-15 04617, 2006

      • flamingcow
        mozilla intentionally won't let you directly execute downloaded files

        • 2006-02-15 04600, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        I didn't want to execute it. I wanted to pass it to my download manager (FlashGet) to take care of

        • 2006-02-15 04647, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Which reminds me: Anyone know of any good open source download managers?

        • 2006-02-15 04615, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        particularly ones that integrate nicely with Mozilla

        • 2006-02-15 04617, 2006

      • flamingcow
        what features do you need?

        • 2006-02-15 04619, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Well, multi-part downloading (aka spidering) is nice, especially on 56k dialup..

        • 2006-02-15 04603, 2006

      • flamingcow
        spidering is pulling a document and all it's references; i don't think you mean that

        • 2006-02-15 04614, 2006

      • flamingcow
        you mean stop and resume, or multiple simultaneous streams?

        • 2006-02-15 04640, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Yeah, I know it means that too.

        • 2006-02-15 04602, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        What I mean, then, is dividing the file into chunks and downloading each chunk simultaneously, possibly utilising different mirrors

        • 2006-02-15 04620, 2006

      • flamingcow
        ah, that thing that server operators hate

        • 2006-02-15 04621, 2006

      • flamingcow
        got it :)

        • 2006-02-15 04633, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        That's about the only reason I use FlashGet

        • 2006-02-15 04637, 2006

      • flamingcow
        i cringe when i remember my modem days; are you out of range of real bandwidth?

        • 2006-02-15 04640, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        flamingcow: what if each chunk is downloaded from a different mirror?

        • 2006-02-15 04637, 2006

      • flamingcow
        bgreenz: then you're tying up one connection slot on each mirror to drain a *tiny* bit of bandwidth over it, because you're shoving X connections on a 56k line

      • BGreeNZ
        Unfortunately, broadband is still a little out of my price range here, as one telephone company (Telecom: The Microsoft of New Zealand) still owns all of the phone lines, except in relatively few areas

        • 2006-02-15 04644, 2006

      • flamingcow
        ug, telecom.nz

        • 2006-02-15 04646, 2006

      • flamingcow
        gotcha :)

        • 2006-02-15 04621, 2006

      • flamingcow
        luckily, dsl and cable are approaching the price of phone line + dialup service in most places in the US

        • 2006-02-15 04655, 2006

      • BGreeNZ
        Besides, what *they* call broadband is only about 128 or 256Kbit (for JetStart), and *real* ADSL (1Gbit+) is well out of my budget

        • 2006-02-15 04606, 2006

      • flamingcow
        1mbit+ :)

        • 2006-02-15 04615, 2006

      • nikki_ sure wouldn't mind 1gbit :P

      • SenRepus
