My concern is that once installed, I will have no way to control it if I
don't want to use it for some files. I remember Netscape adding
something like this (or I added some download, I can't remember which).
There were times I did not want it to pop up and could not find a way to
turn it off. It also showed ads while running.
Anyone know of a review of download utilities that would help me pick
one?

Yes, I very much should use a program like that. In the past I have
preferred not to add more and more utilities to do a job. Often it can
cause problems which are hard to pinpoint. But I think this is one case
where it is well worth the effort.

At this point there is no reason. Altera has provided a license file
keyed to the HDD SN. I was also told that this will be added to the web
site in the near future just as they have for MaxPlusII.

1.
Especially if the problem at hand is that easy to solve, altera should
help them out. If a company reacts like that to simple problems I
would get suspicious what happens if something serious goes wrong.
(BTW.: I had very similar problems with Xilinx in germany.)
2.
I always thought that ethernet based protection is particulary useless
as one can
- install the software inside a virtual machine with any virtual MAC
address one likes
- write a dummy driver that tells the system that a deactivated NIC
with the
MAC address of choice is present in the system.
The only protection mechanism that is even more useless is volume-ID
base protection.

Why not take the ethernet card and attack the connector with
wirecutters? You get a MAC address but the net don't work. :)

Get a download manager like Gozilla or something. The can resume a aboarded
download.

Geeze .... I'm glad altera doesn't waste valuable time on your problem
, they have real work to do. They have standardized on the ethernet
interface, if you have a desktop spend $15 and buy one, if you have a
laptop without one you may have to spend twice that on a USB version
or something. You must have lots of time and little work.

I need to vent a little steam. So at risk of making myself look stupid
(or more stupid) I will do it here.
I have been trying to get the Quartus 3.0 software and a license since
last Thursday. I tried three times over the weekend to download it, but
the slow modem link I have to use would not complete the entire transfer
without a problem. I think I have that licked as my brother tells me he
has downloaded it for me.
But I have been trying to get a license file that does not require an
Ethernet interface and am getting nowhere. I have received several
emails from Altera people who say that they support this and I need to
contact my local FAE or the main office. I have tried to do both. All
of the FAEs I know are either on vacation or in California at training.
Calling both 800 numbers has gotten me nowhere since I reach people who
are the "first line" and always have to refer it to someone else. I
have left about half a dozen voice mails, sent easily a dozen emails,
spoken with two types of support and still I have not heard back from
anyone at Altera about this.
Right now I have been holding for about 15 minutes waiting for a third
number to connect me with a person. I know that if I was this hard to
get ahold of no one would *ever* buy any of my products!
