MANY thanks William!

I´ve wrote the wrong quota. It´s 100mb each 24 hour, not 150mb. 

> Your running on hughes net (satellite) After 180mb
> they throttle you back to below dial-up speeds

Good guess, however this is not the case. I´m downloading several car-forum
sites, and use this on my laptop in the garage for reference. However, when I
first used it, I got banned from one of the sites. When I read some
nettiquette it where quite aperent why. I then mailed the various sites and
most of the sites replay that this where fine but dont go over 100mb for over
24 hours. All sites would probebly be about 2-3gb. So it will take some time.
=) There is alot of pictures, guides and car manuals online.

For the referens for me and other users who might read this. The pause option
just pauses the transfers until it is manualy restarted? Then one might be
able to make a script restarting the DL each 24th hour.

Ahh, how stupid of me. Where so blindly looking for a feature, when I could
simply limit the transfer rate over time. Smart trick! As a bonus, I won´t
clogger their sites with high bandwith over a short period of time.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Fredrik
