Although I haven't used it in many years, there's a system called "File Transfer Protocol," allowing you to DL large files through your browser.

Try Googling "FTP."

LOL, yes. I didn't really absorb what he said: The limit was 5 MG??? Not 5 GB?

5 MG would be a big file for dial up, but today it's nothing. I routinely DL 50-100 MG files directly through Firefox -- and even much larger than that sometimes and it has never told me they cannot transfer a file that big. Email servers might have smaller limits.

At any rate, here's the skinny on FTP. (https://www.howtogeek.com/272176/how-to-connect-to-ftp-servers-in-windows-without-extra-software/)

Once I started a download thru a 56k modem, I left, watched a movie, and when I returned, it was at 80%.

I remember those days well, starting in 1994. My modem in the early years was much less than 56k . . . 14k or something? I finally did step up to 56.

In 2005 I discovered that there was a DSL line on my dirt road, which I never though would happen; I'm not even sure how long it had been available. I immediately had them hook it up. It was like going from a horse-drawn carriage to a Ferrari. Spectrum came through in 2019 and I've been on that since.

The hard drive on my first PC (an "IBM clone") was 170 MG. :eek:

Funny how people always seemed to find a way to gitter done, isn’t it?

Download? Just watching a short video took forever. It used to freeze and press play again and again and again.

Now I have Frontier, and I added a booster.

I'm from the 300 baud acoustic coupler days - so you guys get no sympathy...
Netscape and AOL - ah those were the days. Now, you can have goofy cat videos streaming to your laptop all day long...

Yeah - started with a 14k modem, then 56k, then DSL, and now fiber. It's amazing how much faster fiber is.
