HOW TO DOWNLOAD LARGE FILES FROM THE WEB

For my networked Macs I have an a2server set up with any files i need to get onto a vintage Mac.  I am running it as a VM on a modenr Mac. 

I also have an FTP server set up in case there are Appleshare issues.

My other solution is I have a SCSI2SD v6 set up with several HFS partitions and a large HFS+ one.  I will copy files to the HFS+ partition from my modern Mac (the HFS+ partition shows up a a drive when the SCSI2SD is connected via USB) and then use a Powerbook 540 running 8.1 to transfer files from the HFS+ partition to one of the HFS partitions that can then be mounted as an external drive on a non-networked vintage Mac.

 
I solved this issue by buying an apple 600e CDROM drive.  I downloaded and burnt a CD on my WIN10 machine, transferred it to the 600e.  Problem solved.

Thanks for all the input.

Rick
