you must connect using an FTP client

if that's what you tried, do you have a log or an error message ?

 

[jflo]

i connected, and there's nothing in there yet !

 

[Metal MP5]

all the files are there ... look in the folders
unless, for some reason, you are not getting a dir listing

 

[jflo]

my ftp client said LIST and i got nothing

 

[Metal MP5]

you might have to play with the Passive mode settings if you are behind a router.

thats all i can think of

 

[jflo]

woot ! thanks i got it now i used PASV mode hahaha

 

[Metal MP5]

yup, i saw that

speed should be pretty good at this time of the day. I get 300+kb/s sometimes at night

 

[boostisgood]

How do I get to an FTP ? I dont know much about that type of stuff.

you know you can do a goole search on the word 'drifting' and you'll find your answer:

boostisgood: you need an ftp client ... i would suggest FlashFXP. You can do a search on "ftp" at www.download.com

Once you installed the client, find out how to add a site to the list (all the info needed to connect is in one of my posts here). The client will ask you for the address, port, a username and a password.

If you get FlashFxp, click on Sites and then Site Manager, then click on New Site and fill out the info on the right

COOL! I didn't know that's what it was called. I guess I thought it was called "Rally car accident waiting to happen!" (wrc)

thanks =)

speed all has to do with the connection ... the client or server doesn't change anything. I'm just used to flashfxp and i think it's very easy to use, that's why i suggested it. The only ftp client that doesn't seem to download or upload as fast as the others are Windows' Explorer (when used to connect to ftps) or DOS's ftp client for some reasons.

Alot of things can alter speed ... how far the server is from you. where does the connection has to go through in order to make it all the way to your computer. how many people are downloading at the same time, etc.

yep, familiar- I unfortunately am on direcway and I get a major bandwidth clamp after 179 megs every three hours, drops me down to maybe 5k/sec- I wish I had alternatives this will take forever!

So is this Initial D stuff worth me jumping on the Bandwagon . Should I go buy the DVDs at Best Buy???
