allegro cl installer -- A.I built in, all the way DOWN



Hello, All!

Allegro CL Express Installer is a wonderful example of an application with
built-in A.I.

i was downloading acl8.0 freeexpress with it. (i won't say much about other
installer oddities -- it's unable to create folder for file being
downloaded, it starts displaying progress only after a few megabytes were
downloaded..). download went to 75% when my DSL disconnected. well, it
disconnects from time to time.. i've reconnected it in few seconds, but what
did downloader-installer said? it said that it's UNEXPECTED ERROR, and
showed some hiper-socket error like 'connection reset by peer'.
do you think it resumed download after i reconnected DSL? hell no, it
started from beginning.. marvelous example of an A.I..

what a hell for do they use that meta-installer program??? i'm able to do
download myself, i have a program that is able to resume HTTP downloads..

i found major companies -- Sun, Nokia, Adobe -- all have their own
'downloaders', one worse than another. looks like Franz followed their way..

With best regards, Alex Mizrahi.
