Hello,
I posted this topic in Technical Support a few days earlier; probably it is read here by more ppl.

I have a problem with downloading larger files (demos) via my 56k/V90 dial-up connection. After some minutes of d/loading the V90 mode is dropped for a few seconds (I've read somewhere that this time is used for re-negotiating), and is restablished then.
Sometimes this doesn't work, V90 stays down, and the download becomes REALLY slow (and I pay per minute!).
Go!zilla now tries to change the d/load site again and again. It doesn't recognize that as a matter of fact the ISP connection is bad.
If the connection was shut down totally, then Go!zilla would be able to dial up again automatically. But if that's not the case, it just keeps trying to d/load.
Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Does Go!zilla have a feature which I don't know about that can solve the problem?
Thanks a lot for your input!
