Did you forget to use that download protocol that lets you resume downloads or were you normal. I think it was zoom something.

I was 10 or something, so I'm guessing I just Z...M it.

I was pretty young so I barely knew how to operate the telnet terminal - we used one called White Knight. I recall it had a white background by default (hence the name, I suppose) and a green and yellow pie chart download progress indicator.

Not sure if the protocol was available or easily enabled at the time or via those means. I surely would have used it! Buy my brother was the one who set up the application in the first place.
