Ways of downloading big files with Slow Internet
Downloading different files on our computer is not the new thing. People always love to download different stuffs like music, movies, videos, software, etc. on their computer or mobile phone. But this can become headache when downloading file is too big. This can surely irritate you in many ways. I mean it happens many times that downloading process get interrupts for whatever reason and our big downloads get stuck in middle of process. By this way we can lose our bandwidth without having results, I mean without having our file. So in short downloading big files is not an easy task especially when we are using slow internet connection.
For me I am using slow internet connection since long. I can use fast internet via broadband too but mostly because of my schedule I prefer portable internet more. And you know 3g charges are still too high. So I have to use 2G internet from my phone. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t go for downloads. I used to keep downloading all those big files around 500 to 700MB files without any major problems. Well, for that I use some tricks which surely help me to download those big files without any interruption and stop downloading problem. So let me share those tricks here with all of you. Well, honestly they aren’t anything like unique tricks, they all are simple things but not all people follow it for the same purpose. So it can be helpful for those who don’t know them or don’t use them for downloading big stuffs. So here they are.
Use night time for downloads: Night time is the best time for any kind of downloading purpose especially for those big files. In the night time there is less internet traffic load so that you will not face any kind of interruption in downloading those files. You may face downloading error in the morning, but in the night time there is less chance for facing the same. And also at the night you don’t have any kind of other work on your computer with internet, so by that way also you will not get any interruption. You can switch off your monitor screen after stating download so that you can save some power too. With slow internet connection too you can put your downloads in the night and it will be ready till you get in the morning. So you don’t need to waste your time for it. So this is it. Night time is the best time in many ways as I explained above. Try it.
Use downloading Manager: I already mentioned that people face error during downloading many times. So this can be really headache when you are downloading some big files. So for that I will suggest you to use some kind of Downloading Manager which will help you to pause and resume your downloads. This feature is surely important as even if downloads get stop at some level you can always resume them from the same level where they got stopped. This feature is available in many download managers. This feature is also available in some browser but they are not that effective as download manager. So I will advise you to go for some famous downloading manger using which you can easily manage downloads without any interruption. Using some download managers you can also achieve fastest possible internet speed. So it is another advantage of using download manager. So if you are not using it you can go for one. You can also use torrents downloads which also require special downloading manager. It is quite famous for downloading big files and using it you can also easily found any kind of big files like movies and videos within few minutes. In this download manager also you will get pause and resume option.
Download it in parts: I go for this procedure many times. Let me tell you it is not possible to do it for every download but this can be surely effective. Many times people download some kind of software, videos and movies. But you know many time you can also get the same files in parts. I mean suppose you are downloading some movie. But it is possible that some user have uploaded same movie in parts using winrar and winzip software. So it will be always helpful to you if you go for downloading those parts instead of whole movie together. Just download those parts whenever you are free and at the end using that software you can extract one whole file. So like this way you don’t need to give more time at one time for any kind of downloads. This method is also useful whenever you are uploading something on internet. Just use software like winrar and winzip to make parts of your file and one by one you can upload them whenever you get time. So downloading such small parts will be easier for you instead of those big files. So search on internet if there is this kind of download available for the same file which you are downloading. There are many sites which offers downloading big files in parts so that user can go for it easily even with slow internet connection. It is specially made for slow internet connection users.
Use mobile for downloads: Sometime you don’t want to open your computer or laptop for whole night. Well, I can understand that thing that sometimes it is not possible. Well, let me tell you this is best method that I use for my big downloads. I use my Android mobile phone. You can install browser like opera which offers downloading option on your mobile phone. If you having space on your SD card then you can download any kind of big file on your handset. Application like opera also have pause and resume options on mobile phone. So this can be really handy for anyone who used to put downloads. Just put those big downloads on your mobile and keep it on charging mode so that battery don’t drain outs. You can use those downloads at night so that no one interrupts it. In the morning your download will be ready. After that you can take that download in your computer via USB cable. So by this way you can also save electricity by not using computer. This is the best option I use and it works perfectly for my all downloads. You can try out it too if you having good handset which is having internet function and proper browser which I have mentioned.
So this is it. Here I have described all methods/tricks I use it for big downloads with my slow 2g internet connection. Well they are basics and nothing special. But still I haven’t seen any one using such method. Well, I am using all those above methods since many years and I guess I can tell myself an expert for downloading big files with slow internet connection. Ha ha, just a joke. But these are surely effective ways for downloading your big files using slow internet connection. If you are still using slow internet connection like me then you can try out above methods to make them more easily. Even you are using fast Internet you can try out them for making them even more comfortable. Have fun.
