Pelles C 3.00 available

Thanks, Hutch!

English, German, Dutch, Swedish (for example) are part of the same "language group", I think, so it should be possible to find some common ground.
As always, I guess it's in the details...  :bg

Pelle, many thanks for all your nice tools :U

Pelle,
tack en miljon

The Swedish installation downloads and installs fine but the English version is corrupted.  It only downloads ~200k, something is wrong.  So for English, I downloaded bin.zip which is fine.  Thought you might want to know you have a problem.

BTW:  I am Dansk, living as third generation in US.  I speak many languages and learned Swedish for my wife, she is a Skorny (Spelling?).  Her ancesters, as I am sure you know, roamed across all of northern Scandinavia.  Wow, you should see her family's traditional costume that she wears to the Scandinavian festivals.

Also, she says...
tak vor morten, probably a dialect?  Or is this Latvian?

Strange. I just downloaded (and run) the English setup. It works fine here...

Not sure - it sort of makes sense, but not completely...

Hi Pelle,
You probably are downloading from your own domain so it is not a good test.  Since I can get 2 out of 3 and the failed one fails consistently; something is wrong.  It starts slow like it is going to DL a large file and then after getting ~200k it zooms to the end and that is all.

Anyway, I managed to get what I need so thanks a milllion as I said earlier.  A question, are you willing to put the English setup into a zip? I know the Swedish setup works fine without needing to do that, but I would like to try that.  It is unusual to send files that are not zipped.

Gene, do you mean http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/300/setupeng.exe ?

It downloads fine for me. Perhaps try dropping to a console prompt and typing "tracert 212.97.one three two.106" (de-munge the IP of course.)

Mark,
Maybe you did not read what I wrote all the way.  I have no trouble making a route to his server and of the 3 files I downloaded 2 downloaded fine.  The Swedish version which is over 6meg and the bin.zip which is over 3meg.  This demonstrates to me that I am not having a problem downloading from his server except for that one file.  If I had a route problem, I would not be able to get any files.

Thank you very much for trying to help.  I tried your tracert just to be nice and it is a very long route through many servers but it gets there.  Do you have any other ideas?

I will turn off my firewall and McAfee protection to see if it is a factor... I really doubt it though because the Swedish download is also an exe file.

Well, for whatever reason, it is working now.  I have not rebooted my computer and it failed about 7 or 8 times today.  I just downloaded it 3 times with no problems so I think they fixed something.

Hmm. When I used dial-up, that would happen all the time. I think it was a stalled packet or data frame in my case. (Or old AT&T hardware?) It would usually happen at the end of large files. Exceedingly annoying. If problems like that continue, perhaps try GetRight or FlashGet - they have download resume capability. That worked great for me, as long as the host supports resume (most do.) If a transfer stalls, a new connection is opened and resumed at the last point.

Or it could be something obscure such as flakey ISP/subnet router (should never see a "time out" message in tracert) or some garbled TCP/IP parameters. Try one of these calculators and see if that helps. Might boost your connection throughput and decrease latency also.

Mark,
That would be great stuff if I needed it.  My download speed from his server is ~190kb/sec.  I doubt they can speed that up.

Anyway, it seems to work fine now.  And I think I will stop tying up this thread.  It is an important one.  Pelle, ledsen.
