    I'm not too pleased that I have to download a 93MB file to read this.

    On top of that, the download failed with less than a megabyte left, I hope this story is worth it.

    Would you be more pleased if we didn't have an archive then?

    Here I'll help you. Pretend the last half-dozen posts were never made.

    "Iverness, the fic has been deleted from ff.net. It doesn't exist any more. You'll have to read something else."

    Or you can just stop whingeing.

    That doesn't matter, open the .part file with Winrar and extract after selecting 'Keep Broken Files'. It will work excluding the last few stories.

    Forums are modable, get a file manager.

    Quoted for fucking truth. STFU and get over it or go without reading the crap that the:nazidecide aren't ff.net material. And 93 Mbs? That's just such a big file........If you're using an apple from the 90s.

    I can't comment on that, I'm just a user. I suspect there are good reasons why the archive isn't set up like that.

    I realise that dl'ing a large file of that size can be arduous for anyone on dial-up. If you'd asked nicely I'm sure someone would've been happy to email you the fic in question. It was only your unthinking complaint that set me off.

    The DLP Archive is a one-man project that a lot of effort goes into. That's why there's a slightly defensive attitude surrounding it. ;)

    Props to IBG for the broken rar file solution.
