Title: Tremulous Downloads
Post by: Linux-Inside on July 30, 2006, 10:59:23 am

I'm having problems downloading tremulous via the usual sources. It seems that they no longer have resume support so my downloads keep going back to 0KB with or without a download manager. Are there any known servers or torrents to download the Linux version or any version for that matter. Thanks

So wget -c et al keeps restarting at the beginning of the file?

Nearly all of the sourceforge servers have resume support. Choose the one closest to you from here:

I'm in windows. I've tried downloading with leechget, getright and flashget all of them indicate that the server does not support resuming downloads.
In linux I've tried d4x with the same problem. I've download from sourceforge before and they did have resume support. It seems that they have removed resume support for some reason. Still no luck.

That's odd... I've just downloaded to test for this, and resume worked fine (from heanet at least)

You're not behind a HAVP proxy, are you? (I ask because HAVP kept fecking up my HTTP downloads when enabled on my IPcop box)

I'm not familiar with HAVP. I'm not supposed to be behind any proxies. Is it possible that my ISP has changed this without me knowing it? I seem to have lost resume support with a lot of sites and only a few work now. Can't be anything from my side since the problem is still their when I boot into linux.

Edit: I tried heanet and I get no resume support for that either! I'm assuming there must be a new proxy added without my knowledge.

Weird... I haven't used the download managers you listed, but I get resume support using wget. I started a download from heanet then ctrl+c'd it part way through, I then restarted it with wget -c (-c = continue) and it just picked up from where it was when I stopped it.

Resume only works on servers that support the range header, so perhaps something in between you and the server is stripping headers?
