The author of this tool uploaded a YouTube video demonstrating it a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_-hgsX2V0

At one point in his demo, he uploads a file but terminates the upload more or less halfway. Then he begins downloading the file - which only progresses to the point it had been uploaded, and subsequently stalls indefinitely. And, finally, he finishes uploading the file (which gracefully resumes) and the file download (which is still running) seamlessly completes.

I found that particularly impressive.

It's very impressive, particularly if you remember waking up to a failed download from the night before over dial-up.

I remember redownloading Liero over and over again and failing. And then cherishing it once getting a successful download. It would barely fail to fit into a floppy.

Amateur. Use Flashget or Netants which download the file in 8 simultaneous chunks. I used to cheer the threads on last legs of a whopping 5m download. I hated servers which dont allow resume or even report file size.

If I remember correctly, unfortunately the HTTP server hosting Liero back then didn't support requests with the Range header.

But also likely I didn't have FlashGet on my cousin's computer which was the computer we were using to play it.
