Internet Explorer is very resistant to downloading from sourceforge mirrors. Often, even when you click on the "information bar" to allow the download it prevented, it'll come back with an error rather than do the download.

Use a different browser, if this is what's happening to you. Idiotic Explorer is being silly, because of the redirection to mirrors.

Yet *another* reason to switch to Firefox!

...if only they'd fix firefox's abhorrent memory usage!

Yeah, that's my only gripe about it. Some people catch it using over 200MB of RAM :-O

Opera will work, too.

MovingTarget: 200MB is nothing.

I end up killing it after it has around 2GB resident.

There's talk about heap fragmentation being the problem, due to the allocator being thrashed.

I hear it looks at how much memory you have, and then determines how much to hog. You have 8GB, I have 2GB, so obviously it's going to take up more memory on your machine than mine.

Firefox (Swiftfox, really) has been running for several hours here, and it is using... just over 200 MB of RAM. I think. The VmRss column doesn't specify units, so I'm assuming kB. (Oh, and it's using a little over 100 MB of swap space, too.)

I did a little searching for a good list of the usual settings to change, but I think this will suffice: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4420 . I'm about to install it myself.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

My figure is after about 1 weeks usage, not immediately.

Flashesbuck:

Email isn't designed for transferring files.

Sauer is something close to 150MB. Just learn how to use your browser and you'll be able to download it.

Today, I just downloaded Sauerbraten in 2 minutes, a new record for me :D

15000 KbPs is my speed, it wasn't using all that though :P

It's already been said, but if you don't want Firefox, Opera is a good alternative. It's also fast and memory-efficient.

Altavista gives me the UK mirror:

For this kind of thing, Google is /ueless/!

And why is it the stupidest thing you have ever heard?

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Reducing_memory_usage_(Firefox)

It says there in the beginning, "...because Firefox is configured by default to use more memory on systems that have more memory available and less on systems with less."

Hm, cool addon.

Is it just me, or is memory really cheap as compared to, y'know, a broken internet? Anyone with a gig of ram can give up 200 megs without blinking, in just about any OS under the sun.

yes, use is different from hog.

Hog implies that it is needlessly doing it and not relinquishing it.

My point is that it is stupid to claim that this is intentional, to 'hog' memory indefinitely.

I was using 'hog' sarcastically. Of course it's not intentional.
