I&#39;ve always thought my 10Mb connection wasn&#39;t up to scratch. It&#39;s showing it to be half the speed I&#39;m payig for. Trouble is this is the same story across the UK. We are being ripped off. </p> <p>i realize that he speed quoted is probably the optimised speed. It&#39;s now 9.25am in the UK which probably means there&#39;s already a lot of traffic on the net. whether it&#39;s going to be affected by the US switch on, which usually starts around 10.30-11am in the UK, i&#39;m not sure. Will have to monitor my speeds. my upload speed was quite shocking at only 250Kb per sec </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1160#post-65918 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:35:52 +0000 jocoolguy 65918@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>there are lots of accelerator avail like software,tools ets...apart from that there is a simple tip to accelerate your internet speed delete all temp files and make clear cache everyday finaly test ur speed im sure would be faster.find here ur speed<br /> <a href="http://www.ip-details.com/internet-speed-test/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ip-details.com/internet-speed-test/</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/534#post-54379 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:05:31 +0000 Buzz 54379@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Dont anyone use download express the free one from<br /> <a href="http://www.metaproducts.com/mp/mpProducts_Detail.asp?id=18" rel="nofollow">http://www.metaproducts.com/mp/mpProducts_Detail.asp?id=18</a></p> <p>Only use that one on my sys. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/534#post-54357 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:54:50 +0000 SpodoCommodo 54357@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks g@rgoyle, that would explain it.

Even if you do... they package their free games in the form of a .rga file (amg-beachpartycraze.rga) so that we will 'need' their installer to unwrap and install the game. There is a way around it all and if you can find it then their back door is wide open for a download manager, but is it legal? Nope?<br /> My two cents: if logging in and using their slow installer are GameHouse's conditions to get the free games then maybe we should just accept that.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Lan </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/534#post-54351 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:34:03 +0000 SpodoCommodo 54351@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions; I have them already but IDM is the latest I felt like giving a try to, and it always feels more satisfying to sort out a problem that, on the face of it, should be fairly simple to solve rather than give up on it altogether.</p> <p>As with most people, I'm always on the look out for speeding up downloads and IDM has been unbelievably quick on some that I've used it for - so quick that, more than once, I thought that it had only downloaded a program stub of just a KB or two and was surprised to discover that it was the whole program of a few MB. That's why I'd like to persevere with it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/534#post-54350 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:25:35 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 54350@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks to the wiki's, I now have a download manager for Chrome! woohoo!

So I go to the Gamehouse home page, log in, click on today's free game and then on the start download link.</p> <p>Without IDM the small file that one ends up with in the download folder has a long name combining the name of the game + Gamehouse bits e.g. today's is House-Installer_amg-beachpartycraze_gamehouse.exe, which the Gamehouse installer then processes without a problem.</p> <p>But with IDM the file is stubbygh_en.exe which causes the installer to give an "Invalid games package" error.</p> <p>I haven't changed any of the default IDM settings, so can anyone tell me what needs to be changed to get IDM to deal with these downloads properly (I haven't had any problems with any other sites so far)? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1489#post-9164 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:59:25 +0000 kirby145 9164@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I keep seeing mysql database errors sometimes. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1489#post-9163 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:51:27 +0000 amar77 9163@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>thanks a lot, BuBBy now it has solved my problem<br /> again thanking you BuBBy </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1489#post-9153 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 09:59:39 +0000 BuBBy 9153@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>You can use a download manager (Extension/Addon) called "Flashgot" which acts as the "glue" between different download managers and Firefox.</p> <p>You can install it from <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220</a></p> <p>If you are new to Firefox - some handy links for "getting started" are:</p> <p><a href="http://tech.cybernetnews.com/2006/11/01/cybernotes-cybernets-updated-guide-on-firefox-2-tweaks/">CyberNotes: CyberNet’s Updated Guide On Firefox 2 Tweaks</a></p> <p><a href="http://learnfirefox.cybernetnews.com/">Learn Firefox</a> - A Visual Guide to the Firefox Web Browser.</p> <p>Hopefully this will get you started. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1489#post-9148 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 07:35:31 +0000 amar77 9148@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>thanks to everyone now i m able to open GAOTD with the help of FireFox but now i have a new problem this is now i can not download file with DAP(download manager). so it is very difficult to download any file from net because my net connection is very-very slow (115200 bps). so again i m in trouble. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1489#post-9145 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 06:46:16 +0000 pauloparra 9145@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>My favorite browser is Opera.</p> <p>-Mario </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1489#post-9128 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 22:46:36 +0000 NolafromNZ 9128@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Amar77,</p> <p>I had the same problem running Windows XP, SP2, IE6 but upgrading to IE7 fixed it. (I had trouble upgrading to IE7 too, but that's another story!). Firefox is my main browser but I have to use IE for the BigFishGames toolbar, and it annoyed the heck out of me, continually closing down.</p> <p>My sister was running WINME and IE6 though, and she had the same problem too. So, she ditched her total computer and bought a new one with Windows XP, SP2 and IE 7. No further problems. I tried to get her to go the Firefox way, but she wasn't having it.</p> <p>So, like BuBBy suggested, install Firefox and your problem goes away. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1489#post-9126 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 17:58:31 +0000 Archangel 9126@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Does that mean your predictable BuBBy?
