Most modern ftp clients can resume interrupted downloads anyway. For Windows, try FileZilla. It's open-source and free.

Our HTTP server supports resuming too... so if your HTTP client doesn't suck you can resume that way.

HTTP is the suggested method of download by the way. Our FTP server does NOT support passive connections, so if you use FTP you must turn passive mode off.

Dave mentions, "Most modern ftp clients can resume interrupted downloads anyway."

Support for the "reget" command was added to the ftp client in 4.3BSD/Reno, sometime between February 1989 and July 1990
(If I read this right, by Mike Karels on Feb 28, 1989). Not quite 30 years old, but close.

I'd say closer to 20 years, but I guess not quite 30 fits. [Smile]

Heh. Is the resume feature relatively new to Windows-based ftp clients? Or has it always been there?

David,

Most ftp clients have had resume support for some time, be it one written for windows, linux, bsd, etc.

Press the down arrow once and that data will appear on the bottom line of the LCD. This can be set in "setup" to show by default.

Apparently the upgrade did not save this setting.

I think this is my first post.

Anyone having DVD drives failing?

I've had 3 die in the last 3 months?

How about off the shelf replacements since I'm out of warranty on 1.

Yep! Since the XD-10's have been out I have had quite a few DVD drives fail... also going on a half dozen Hard Drives now too. We keep both on the shelf. even if your units are still under warranty its LESS EXPENSIVE to replace them your self than it is to ship units back and forth!! Wal-Mart or cheapo mail order is a good place to get em. I do reccomend a good brand HD though like Western Digital or Seagate. Any DVD drive will work ok... ditto for the HD's for the most part. Larger HD's will hold more data too. The first XD-10's I believe had 40 gig drives... The last one that failed I replaced with a 320 gig. If a HD does fail you will also need the operating system re-load disk as well to restore normal operation... you will also have to re-set the time code delay and any level changes you made from the normal default levels. Then re-load all your movie files.

What signs does an XD10 give of HD problems? Beside's an obvious failure to boot.

I assume they are simply IDE interfaces on the HD's?

Usually the lcd screen just stays at "Initalizing". Other problems can also cause this. Hooking a video monitor to the XD-10 will also make the dead hard drive very obvious.

Yes, they are IDE... something that will disappear some time soon. Its all going to be SATA...
