Gozilla
When I first had the internet, one of the problems with using a 56k modem was that of mum picking up the phone, which cut the internet off and corrupted any file I was currently downloading at the time.

I finally found a solution using the download manager Gozilla, which enabled me to restart downloads from where I left off, queue multiple downloads etc etc. Perfect. The coolest function was the WAV file that played on download completion, which was the T-Rex scream sound from Jurassic Park - but as my PC was running through my rather beefy stereo at the time, I had to be very careful to lower the volume. I only made that mistake once!

One day I had a couple of files queued in Gozilla that I had started the night before, which would complete when I logged on again that evening after college. However my Mum had popped onto the internet during the day to look at the weather forecast or something, and had spent just long enough online for one of my files to finish downloading. The T-Rex scream sound played as normal - however I had been listening to Underworld at cheek-riviting volumes while getting ready for college and forgot to turn the stereo off.

The T-Rex scream was matched by that of my poor mother who had the shock of her life and, in her own words, "been blasted across the room".

eep!
