How Do You Wait Through Long Downloads?
• Before you start a download, download all the flash games you will need to stay happy, or if you have no idea how long the download might be, simply keep a folder of flash games for “emergencies” and only play them during downloads. Here is a site for downloading files from sites, but it doesn’t work on Kongregate: [1] • If you have a really sluggish connection, try leaving the computer on all night, or cancel the download and resume it in the morning, leaving the room, and checking in on it every ten minutes until it has finished. • Try not to stare at the percentage or progress bar. This is exactly like staring at a clock. It only makes things seem longer. If it tells you the names of the files it’s transferring, look at those and imagine what each one does, and how they combine to make a wonderful program or game. • If you have another computer, use it instead, BUT NOT THE INTERNET. This can slow things down until your download belongs in the Guinness book of World Records. Finish
