Karma Girl : I'm not sure what that means. Do you mean that you are losing connection after 10 megs are downloaded?

Do you use a download manager like DownloadStudio? When I was on dialup, I always used a download manager since dialup is very unreliable for large downloads (well, any download that's over a meg or so).

There was an entire thread on this that went on for over a week..I wasn't the only one that bought the suite and couldnt download it. The download for a dial up user was 88 minutes on the last premium suite . I downloaded it over and over again for days. So did others. Same thing happened to them - the download would get to 5mbs and say " finished " yet zip was empty. Most times it got to about 7 mbs then started over at 0 .
I ended up having my brother d/load it for me because he has dsl and he sent it in 2 zips. The only problem was the suite comes as a download manager theme and is 12 mbs alone - my email allowed the large download but most of the others having the problem couldnt recieve an email that large.

Yes we all tried a download manager but the problem is that Stardock doesnt have
a " resume " connection when broken and resets to zero each time. Noone ever replied on the thead I had started concerning this..

Ah...I had never seen that other thread and didn't hear any reports from tech support about the issue.

The server that they are currently on does not support resume because it changes the download links periodically to lower the rate of piracy.

We can switch it to a different server, and see if that helps.

It doesn't show in Stardock Central because it's not an activated product (hence the lack of serial number)

For what it's worth . . . I think every Stardock product should be in SDC. It's good marketing if nothing else.

Being able to re-download, archive, apply products is a huge assest. Why not include it for every product?

I understand your reason for this ..but its a catch 22 for people like me that like to purchase the premium suites...I spent days trying to download the last one - to lose the download when your 2 hours into it for a 7th time is very frustrating. Certainly there must be a better way to get the suites. I only asked my brother out of desparation at that point - was hard explaining to him what i wanted him to do because i had no idea what was in the zip. I have purchased essorants skin packs before and i never have a problem with those at all...so it must be the the larger size of the suites that causes this...

Update: We have moved the suites to a different server that will allow resume (so that a download manager will work).

We are currently upgrading and moving servers, so it won't be until next week before we can address the suites not being on SDC.

Firstly - PixelPirate, this is just brilliant. What a fantastic effort - thanks!

I do agree with Sir Zubaz though. It's nice to be able to have Stardock take care of backups - if you know what I mean. One of the big advantages of buying their software is not having to worry too much about catastrophes because it's all managed centrally. It would be really nice if Liquidox could be included.

wouldn't bother me if premiums came with a serial and were accessible via SDC

They will be, soon. But, as I mentioned above, "We are currently upgrading and moving servers, so it won't be until next week before we can address the suites not being on SDC."

Pixel Pirate,
This is awesome. How much money will it cost me to have you re-do Encoded for WB5? (seriously)

I don't use Bootskin, so I didn't install that part, but it certainly prompted me to see if I wanted to download it. Likewise, the screensaver installed just fine and I just tested it. Both of those are part of the suite.

I just wanted to say that this worked out very well. Using a download manager - not only did it solve the problem of download resetting to zero, but also downloaded in about half the time as usual for me.
