For those members who've had problems with downloads abruptly cutting off or who would like to que their downloads, I've written a Guide on Queing and Resuming your downloads.
You can see the guide over here .
Any questions and comments are welcome. Feel free to ask.
Just breezed through it, succinct and clear. Nice. ;)
Could you tell me/us why Firefox is more adequate when downloading from the main site than IE? I've been wondering about this for some time now.
Well, we recommend firefox for a large number of reasons. One of them is that firefox is less susceptible to adware/spyware and other types of malware. However, speaking only in context of emuparadise, we use FTP transfers for a large number of our downloads and our FTP only allows one login per IP address. Thus, if a person tries to login (download a file..) again while he's already logged in (downloading..), it'll result in an error.
Now, the problem with some versions of IE is that it makes two logins into an FTP. One is for detecting whether the FTP is working and the other is for actually getting the file. Obviously the first login doesn't expire before the second one kicks in so it results in a 404 Page Not Found, error. This is why we recommend people use Firefox with Emuparadise, so that they can avoid such errors.
This isn't symptomatic to all versions of IE. The problem only comes up with some versions.
Clears it all up, thanks.
ONE thing you forgot to mention.
while i was downloading FF7 a few months baack i was constantly asking for the password. That was because flashget needs you to input the passowrd manually. so unless you have the current password on the website, this method does not work. Some other download programs also encounter this problem.
one thing i DONT recommend is download studio...the thing friggin loses connection all the time on connections that would last just fine in ie or firefox
plus the resume feature barely ever works...waste of time
I followed all of this and it keeps saying the log in information is incorrent. Any help here?
Which file are you trying to download shadow ?
I'm trying to get Valkyrie Profile, as my disks are scratched, but the firefox thing isn't working. I can download them singly through IE but not in a que.
The problem seems to be that your download manager isn't capturing the full link.. I don't see why not if you followed the Guide as stated..
There was another person having a similar problem. Check this thread to see what he did:

Ahhh that worked out well. Need to get the open properties when you download normally through firefox, the user information shows right up then.
Thanks alot!
I followed the guide but whenever I try to download something, FlashGet just tries to download the index.php file and not the tracks. Any help would be appreciated.
Well I've realized now that the referrer link isn't being detected like in the guide. Any tips on how to do this?
Click the download link, not the link to the page with the download link.
The download link should say Server somewhere in it.
Just started using flashget and it seems that my downloads are way slower than
the original downloading. Is there anything in flashget that i can change to make it faster?
Tools > Options > Connection > set Connection Type/Speed to something high like T1.
That way it won't limit your download speed.
Also speeds here vary depending on how much traffic the server is getting.
I've gotten slow speeds too from time to time.
Also, set Max Simultaneous Jobs to 1, then go back to Tools > Default Download Properties > set Split File to 1.

Hi guys I've been on this forum for a while but never actually posted anything lol...
Anyway I was trying to download a rom for twilight princess and I paid for the high speed download.
Unfortunately my download cut and when I tried to resume it says this:
<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Request has expired</Message>
<RequestId>A0480504431C92D3</RequestId>

</HostId>
<ServerTime>2012-10-23T21:22:37Z</ServerTime>
</Error>
I'm not sure why my download cut but I paid for the download and I feel like I was screwed... please can you fix this?
Hi, did you get an email with a link ? You just need to click on that link and you can get your download again. The links are signed and that's why they expire after a bit but you can use the emailed link.
Hmmmm, I followed every step of your guide but every time I resume my download it...... well, it goes like the connection is restarted and go back to 0 again; I was nearly in completion to download my file. What shall I do next?
Do you have any info about FTP logins on Google Chrome? I saw earlier about IE's FTP login problem.
I followed every step in this guide. This not work for me. Every time my flashget show this protocol isnt supported.
Cant start download.
Any help with this?
It seems you can't "queue" downloads from some (or all?) sections because when you click Download link, it checks right then for other downloads..if you already have some going, it doesn't add them you just get the "You can't download multiple files" message.
Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
Can I install the Plugin on android?I try to download a ROM and it stops at ethier 80% or 90% I tríed dowloading infinite space and dragon quest both stop on 80% and 90% I am trying with fire Fox now to see if it works
Switch your download method to FTP. That will fix the dropping out issue. On the download page, click edit download settings. Select FTP for server type. Hit update, and you should be able to download without any issues.Quote:
