Using Download Managers

Based on the deployment setup parameters such as ping interval, number of bins, etc., and the duration of
the deployment, the size of the data file to be downloaded from the Sentinel V ADCP can be in the order of
gigabytes. While downloading a large data file from the Sentinel V, the user may close the browser by mis-
take or the ADCP may disconnect. In order to recover the data file download from such situations, TRDI
recommends using a FireFox® download manager add-on called FlashGot®. This add-on will help re-
sume downloads from the last point where the partial download left off. Using FlashGot, users may also
configure the maximum download speed using any internal and most external download managers.

browsers (see
the latest version of Firefox® (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) and the FlashGot®

Once FlashGot® is installed; when a data file is downloaded the following popup is observed:
Select the FlashGot option and click OK to download the file.

browsers such as Google Chrome® etc., TRDI has not tested the efficacy of the FlashGot
plugin in other browser environments.
