RE: Paying for downloaded music is HUGE waste of time and money....

I run a web site that sells downloads. We have customers all over the world who download albums (a single zip file) up to 500 GB in size. Most have no problems completing downloads, but a few customers have problems with lost internnet connnections because of poor internet service. Our site has had customers successfully download a CD quality album over a dial-up internet service in third world countries. After seven years, the vast majority of our business is now downloads, although we still mail out a few CDs. Once customers figure out how to do download they are repeat customers, because buying and downloading additional albums is easy once the initial glitches have been overcome.

It can be frustrating to start a download only to have it fail 90% of the way through and have to start over. This problem can be avoided by using a download manager which will resume a failed download where it left off. Most download services now come with their own download managers which deal with these problems, but major web browsers have the necessary add-ons in case one is using a site that doesn't have its own download manager.

I have purchased and downloaded hundreds of hires albums in the past few years for my own personal use from sites such as HDtracks, Blue Coast Records, Channel Classics and eclassical and rarely have a problem.
