Then I got fast internet (we’re talking 25 MBit DSL here) and servers stopped being so stingy and download managers slowly became a thing of the past.
And then, a year or so ago, I had to work on a company VM that would randomly reset the connection to GitHub, from which I needed a rather large file. So I wrote a super cheap download manager and named it GetWrong in honor of the hero of my ISDN days.
GetRight was the bomb.
