Alternate DesktopX download sites?

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi, is there any other place where you can download DesktopX except that damn Cnet? I live n Northern Europe and even with my cable modem I can't seem to get a good connection to cnet...

Thanks

try replacing the ftp or ftpx in the link they give you with ftp1, to specify one of their servers. if this doesn't work (it has for some) email cnet support.

The problem with sites like cnet and zdnet, is that they don't give you the exact address of the file, but use a series of filters (or whatever). This makes it almost impossible to find the file using an ftp client or copy/pasting the link...

Any other suggestions?

after you click the green 'download now' at cnet, click cancel on the dl window that pops up. on the page underneath, find the section titled 'all download sites.' for dx there's just one listed, zdnet in the U.S. right-click the link and select copy, then paste into the address bar of your browser. add the '1' after the 'ftp' and click go :]

Yup, tried that...
...more than once!

No luck. If there's anything I hate it's big d/l sites like cnet and zdnet that don't use mirror sites!
