How to download from ROXBYTES?

Since ROXBYTES hosts huge files, it is highly recommended that you use a download manager to get the files. Please note that not all download managers are compatible with the server. You can't download with Download Accelerator or with certain versions of GetRight. ROXBYTES recommends FlashGet, a free software for downloading files from the internet. If your download is broken, FlashGet automatically continues your download from the part it was broken or paused. You can download FlashGet from the software download section of ROXBYTES (click here to get there). For the best performance, configure FlashGet the following way: select "Tools" -> "Options" from the menu. Then go to the "Connections" tab. Set "Max simultaneous jobs" to 1. Then, when you begin to download a file, set "Split file: 2 parts simultaneous" on the download details panel. This is the fastest and best  way you can get the file.

When I want to download, I'm asked to enter a username and a password. What are these?

You do not need a username and a password to download files from ROXBYTES. If you are asked to enter a username or a password, it is because you are using a download manager that is incompatible with the server (for example, Download Accelerator or GetRight). Save the file directly from your browser or download it with FlashGet, a download manager available in the software download section of ROXBYTES (click here to get there).

What is an OGG file? How can I play it? Why not mp3?

OGG Vorbis is an open source audio encoding format that provides way better compression / quality ratio than any other technology currently available. For example, an OGG file encoded with a bitrate of 96 kbps provides a better output than a 128 kbps mp3 file. What's more, OGG files are way smaller than mp3s. So everyone benefits using this enoding method: since files are smaller, we can upload a lot more songs to our servers - and you can download them faster. Sounds good, doesn't it? It's easy to play OGG files with Winamp (get it from the software download section of ROXBYTES), but there is a huge amount of software using OGG. Here are a few for Windows - Mac - Linux users. Want to burn OGG files as an audio CD? No problem! There's a great plugin for Nero Burning ROM. Alternatively, you can create WAV files from OGGs with CDEX and create audio CDs with any compatible CD-burning software.

How to play the files I downloaded?

Well, for audio files (ogg, midi), ROXBYTES recommends Winamp, while for videos, you need to have Windows Media Player, and a series of codecs. You can get them all from the software download section of ROXBYTES (click here to get there).

I don't see the video / can't hear the sound. What should I do?

Most likely you are missing a codec that's necessary to play the file. Get alll the required files from the software download section of ROXBYTES (click here to get there).

What's a m2v/SVCD file? How do I play it?

First of all, you have to have the m2v codec installed on your computer. Then, you need a suitable player to watch the video. ROXBYTES recommends RadLight, a free video player that plays most formats. Both the m2v codec and RadLight are available to dowload software download section of ROXBYTES (click here to get there).
