OT: downloading of a file

Assuming you mean GetRight (the download manager), a 403 means that the referring page isn't what those guys require. (aka: We're anal and you have to do it OUR way--no leaching or linking.) A download manager doesn't give a referring page, so you're stuck.

Find a neighbor/friend with a fast connection and a CD burner.

I could try and post it to abse. Some people might cry tho.

I bet it terminates around 10 megs? :)

The site seems to dislike non-standard user agents. I get the 403 error with wget unless I tell it to pretend to be Mozilla, using

-U "Mozilla/5.0"

If GetItRight lets you specify the user agent, you could try that. Failing which, finding a DOS/Windows version of wget would let you retrieve the file.

I was able to download the file using Lightning Download. All I had to do was copy the URL to the clipboard, and Lightning Download started up automatically.

What if someone emailed it to you? Is 14Megs too big for that?

We *all* could; then at least one would get through :) :)

Someone was *VERY* kind and sent me the file broken into 500K UUE files. After stripping off the (variable length) e-mail headers and the 4 blank lines at the end, and *then* combining to a large (21,364150 bytes) file, i was able to decode to a decent EXE (untried so far).

Got it courtesy of a very nice person; see response to previous.

Mozilla??? But i am using NetScrape which is supposedly "same".

I am on dial-up; that might be iffy. But i have it now; see previous response in that regard.

That seems rather large.

Don't run it unless you trust the person who sent it to you. It could easily be a trojan horse.

I misconstrued what you said. The final file size should be 15,260,160.

Sylvia.

I can only assume that GetItRight is interfering with that.

Follow instructions; in C:\\TEMP that has NV8269.EXE, i issue: NV8269.EXE /C /Q /T:C:\\TEMP Get error message on desktop: "That folder is invalid. Please make sure the folder exists and is writable." (OK)

Extracting file: C:\\My Documents\\ENCODES.uue\\nv8269.exe Extracting to "C:\\Temp\\" Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no Extracting LAYOUT.BIN Extracting SETUP.BMP Extracting SETUP16.BMP CAB file nv8269.exe is corrupt

Help!

It may seem to be large, but this is ASCII characters which makes it larger; the decoded EXE is 14,903 Kbytes in size.

I calculate that is about the 14,903Kb i have. BUT. Since the file i have crashes (see previous message), would you be kind enough to e-mail the EXE zipped up? Yes, i know, it is already a ZIP file in self-extracting form.

Most likely; i start dozing before that and when i wake up, *poof*. Once, tho, it "completed" giving me a ~530K file.

OK. Should be on its way soon, provided the upload of the email doesn't fail. I'm going to bed (nearly 1am here), so I'll check it tomorrow.
