Those of you with download managers will be pleased - you can now partially download a file, and resume it later. Also, if you have a Metalink compatible downloader, you can enjoy super fast and reliable downloading, especially with large files, provided you click the "Download Metalink" link on the download page.

Not only that, users with large files in their accounts might have been ticked off when someone downloads a large file from them, and stops the download before it completes - only to find a full downloads' bandwidth has been removed from their account! This has always been the way Host-A served files, until now. With "Fair Bandwidth Tracking", only actual data transfer is counted as bandwidth. So if someone downloads 1 MB of a 25 MB file, only 1 MB of bandwidth is removed from your account! This was achieved by having the mirrors keep track of the bandwidth used, with the main server downloading and tabulating the logs every hour. So this means that download counters are updated and bandwidth is removed from your account on an hourly basis (unless it is downloaded from the main server, which in that case it updates instantly).
