? 1.18G data limit with Vodafone Broadband.

I've bought and am trying to down load the western europe map for my
tomtom gps, but server timesout after 1.18G (out of 1.7G) each time. I now
have four files each exactly 1.18G in size. Most likely its a poblem at
the european end but just thought I would ask the masses to check this
isn't some sneaky vodafone antipirate scheme... (tried with firewall and
antivirus turned off too - though still behind the hardware firewall of
the router)

Hi
What program are you using to download, firefox, IE, other? Maybe you
could try something that uses wget or if they have ftp access use a ftp
client?

Modern HTTP and FTP clients both support resuming interrupted downloads. The
servers should too, unless they’re incredibly ancient.

Thanks for the reply.

I;m using the desktop tomtom "home: client which does all the syncing and
from which I bought the map.
It supposidly allows restarting of interupted downloads but I have been
upable to restart any of the 4 partial downloads.
The server just times out which is the original problem.

I think I'll wait a few days then try again.
