    because you closed the program and the connection is cut, so the download stops because it requires the connection?

    Js: My ISP cut my connection when I turn off my com, maybe they wanted to save power.

    Wm: I went shitting, that why.

    Ts: Don’t need an answer

    Adam: I using BitTorrent router, that why.

    Isaac: No seeds that the problem.

    Lacus: Sorry, I not IT savvy.

    Ryan: Ask Wiki!

    Wc: My wireless router no power to radiate RF.

    Correct Ans:
    During a shutdown, the OS terminate any process that is currently running. Thus an svchost program got terminated and the download stops. If you using Opera, you can resume your download. If you prefer Download Accerelator, it provide better GUI and download speed that any other program that Felix is able to do so. Hehe.

    My take: cos life just so =P

    The above answer given is too chem liao, layman cannot understand so cannot be used or publish. Must simplify too much technical terms!

    On another note take the instrumentalist approach, watever works is watever works

    Oops. Heh. That one’s to curb spam. Noted and fixed. =D

    Thinking about removing the check altogether though. It should be easy for bots to bypass it anyway. Hahaz.
