my situation is , i tried to download a big file from oron (2.91GB) , and i am a premium user of their service, however, since i worried disconnection so i used JDownloader to assist my download, the first time i downloaded the file i could only download several hundred kb before it got disconnected and for the second time as it reconnects, it also stopped very soon after, wasting me approximately 6GB of traffic in total.

later, i tried downloading the file again, before i downloaded i even closed MSN, i even stopped any other activity and sat down to look at the downloading status like a dummy, for a good period of time it was okay, the downloadspeed is somehow between 6xx Kb/s to 7xx Kb/s, but when the file downloaded to 1.5GB, in a sudden instant the speed dropped to 0 KB/s then JDownloader reconnects, meaning another big waste of traffic.

Here i have some question concerning my situation

1. what is the reason behind this incident? is it the file too big? since i had never downloaded big file like this .

2. if it's due to the big size of the file, any methods to avoid, or say to eliminate the chance of disconnection

next time? becaues i will have to download a few more files as big like this and oron does not compensate for the

wasted traffic.

Thanks all!
 
It's not possible to know for sure, there could be a number of factors in play. Could be you just have a flaky connection that is causing the download to terminate early. It might be that your ISP has some limits that you are exceeding. Some sites don't like you to use downloaders and, if detected, will terminate the connection.

What type of connection do you have? Cable, DSL, cellular, dialup, etc...
