Romulus: I think that when networking is involved, it simply can be anything which causes a problem. I was getting 15 minute drops from my wifi connection, so I moved the router in the other room from the desk up ontop of the bookshelf next to it. The problem stopped right away, even though the thing has moved less than a meter.

Aliasalpha: I'm a qualified network administrator and am 3/4 of the way through a cisco certified network associate qualification and I have to say that you're spot on. Shit happens is basically the mantra of networking. In your case I'd not be surprised if it was channel interference from another nearby source, moving it might just have shifted it out of effective range of the other transmitter. You might want to download #inSSIDer and see if it can pick up many other networks in the area

drmlessgames: i wish whiney users would stop jumping into conclusions. I tried 3rd party downloaders, Gog people said they won't work since GOG uses special authentication on the download servers which reset the connection. The only way to download and resume a game is with the official AIR downloader. And no, it's not my ISP. My ISP is crappy, i know, probably the crappiest ISP, but they don't exclusively reset GOG downloads. I have downloaded gigs' worth of games from Steam and Impulse without a hitch, and with resume option. Last time I contacted GOG they told me to just pause and resume the download at times. That's not a good option, having to supervise the download the whole 2 GB of it.

Wishbone: You wouldn't by any chance be affiliated with them, would you? Brand new user, and throwing that link all around the forum. I call spam.

Aliasalpha: What, like a claymore that only detonates in the presence of advertising people? Is the IFF sophisticated enough to exclude the GOG lads/lasses?
