I bet whoever put together the mplayer site assumed everyone had
broadband internet access.

I have dial-up, but I download large files while I'm asleep. 10MB
takes about an hour if I get a 33.6 connection, or 45 minutes with
a 45333+ connection rate.


wget would not download from your geocities site - too many redirections.

The problem with downloads via our 'ISP' is that during busy times (half the day) it abruptly disconnects people after 62 minutes, and at any time it can hang up on you after only a few minutes, on a whim. So to get really large files, I need to download them to sdf (at 20-70K/sec) and download them from there at 1-2K/sec or less, via my local bbs, with wget, in manageable chunks.
