Wakashi Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Could someone give me the download size of KFHR, since I am on a data limit due to satellite ISP. Thanks in advance Wakashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertPilot Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The KFHR download size is 1.37 GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Robinson Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 If you're on satellite you probably have an off-peak data allowance, no? Mine's between 2 and 8 AM and I get 50 Gb per month to burn through during those hours every night without it affecting my anytime data allowance. I could nearly download the entire Orbx catalog monthly without ever exceeding my bandwidth allotment! I usually get up about 5:00 so I have 3 hrs to get all my downloading done, or just generally run amok on the internet without any alarm clock heroics.

Wakashi Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thanks for the replies guys and Jim I do have the off peak hours (10GB), I can't seem to take good advantage of it, but gonna have to try harder. It's not to fast so it takes forever to get 1GB . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Robinson Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I had the HughesNet Gen4 service installed last May and I'm completely pleased with it. I just have the cheapie slowpoke plan, it's $50-ish bucks a month. I get about 1.7 Mb/sec pretty consistently, I just looked at my download manager's logs and I downloaded FTX global for example in 46 minutes. For $10 bucks more a month they'll double the speed but I'm cheap and I can live with 46 minutes without too much trauma, lol. Well, hope everything goes OK with KFHR for you, have a great flight!

Wakashi Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 I started to get Hughes Net, but found out it was bought by Dish so I went for Dish (bad move), $70 per month and 400 to 500 kps (very seldom Mps) have called several times complaining, gonna change pretty soon to someone else, maybe Excede. I usually have to go to the library for major downloads. I am going to get KFHR anyway regardless. Thanks for the info, what download manager do you use? I am using IDM at the moment, trying to figure how to download at 2:00 am with the scheduler option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Robinson Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I've been using FlashGet, I can't find where it has the capability of scheduling a download though but what I've done is set it all up with the link to the file and where I want it to be saved, close it, and then use the Windows task scheduler to start it again at 2:05 AM or something. When FlashGet starts up it automatically goes straight to downloading and then it just sits there on the desktop after it's finished until I wake up and close it. Task scheduler is in Programs > Accessories > System tools (on Win7), then when you start it you'll see "Create basic task" on the upper right. It walks you through a wizard thing where you choose a bunch of options and tell it what date/time you want it to happen. I do "Trigger: one time at 2:05 AM on 12/17/2015" for example, and then "Action: Start a program" and then just browse to D:\MSFS\FlashGet 3\Flashget3.exe as the program to start. You could maybe do the same with IDM? I'm not sure as I've never used that one, but I imagine it would work the same? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakashi Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thanks Jim, I am going to try that tonight or tomorrow night I'll let you know if it works, I have FlashGet also. I'll let you know if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
