I wonder if your problem is similar to one I just cannot fix?
I am using iViewNapper (not the new trial one - the one before that I think) and I will get 99.99% success - not even timeouts or resumes, most of the time,
when I use my old Belkin modem (bought years ago from iiNet, my ISP).
When I use my BoB2 modem with VOIP, the timeouts are excessive (they default to 30 seconds, if no parameter is passed to rtmpdump), and can make the download time 5 to 20 tiimes as long, when all the manual intervention is taken into account.
This can be tested with the 2 different modems within minutes, any time of day, with nobody using the VOIP phone service.
Indeed, I can set the ADSL Optimiser setting (at iiNet Toolbox) to anything from 'Thrillseeker' down to the slowest, with no change in the timeouts and resumes.
I have put up with this for 3-4 months, would you believe?
Amazingly, whichever downloader I use with SBS, the BoB2 modem is fast and error-free. And, using
mce's p7Napper at Plus!7, it is also fast and free of timeouts.
Explain that !
