my connection is very slow: 1.5mbits per sec. typically if can download 1 to 2 gig per nite IF i don’t loose connection. in the past Steinberg allowed use of my own download manager which allowed not only start, stop, pause but ALSO if there is a disruption it will pick up from where it left off when i restart the download. now some of the newer download apps make you start over if you LOOSE CONNECTION.
so does the Steinberg app allow start, stop, pause and MOST importantly for me, resume downloading from a disruption rather than having to start over?
When you upgrade, the first download you are sent is a (relatively) small Steinberg Download Assistant, about 100MB. When you install this, the default option is to also install its own “aria” download manager, so from that point on you don’t need a browser or any other download manager. The Steinberg Download Assistant allows you to start, stop pause and resume the individual downloads.
This great news!! As stated ,my biggest concern is loosing the Internet connection after many hours of downloading, then having to start over. Months ago I bought the Hallion 6 upgrade but then backed off downloading it as I was afraid of the Steinberg Download Assistants’ capability to recover from loss of Internet connection.
