1)is there something in firefox that automatically saves and pauses downloads? because thats the program i have been losing connection and partially saved files on.

2) how do i get the free download manager to see the file when i save it while that little code thing is happening?
Ohh... yeah, these are a bit tricky. Here is what to do:

  1. On the game download page, copy the URL in your browser
  2. Enter the code from the picture and hit go
  3. When the Free Download Manger pops up, click the Advanced button on that window
  4. Go to the Protocol tab, and paste the URL you copied into the Referrer: section
  5. OK - everything should work

There might be an easier way to get the referrer working automatically, but I haven't figured it out yet... this way should work okay though.
