bizzybody Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I'm on a WiFi connection that constantly varies wildly in quality. Sometimes it's super fast, sometimes I have to re-load several times before a page will load.How can I at least double the time Firefox, IE7 and Google Chrome wait before giving up on a page download? Tripling it might be better!It'd also be nice if there's a way to make them pop up a warning when downloads get dropped before they're finished. It's extremely annoying to download a 100+ meg driver installer, burn it to disc then find out somewhere with only dialup that the stupid browser just gave up on it a few megs shy of done without any warning that it didn't finish its task.
Tripredacus Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 I'm not sure about IE or Chrome, but Firefox has a built in config file you can edit. just type about:config in the address bar to get the settings.
