How can I see the size of a file while downloading?
To know the file size of a download where the size is not returned by the webserver, you will have to attempt downloading the file with a download manager like the Chrono Download Manager. The download manager will in most cases scan the file size before it proceeds to do the download.
What do you do if an important file is too large to download?
