downloading browsers

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 18.2003

My PC at home is not on the internet and yet because I want to design sites that are compatable with all browsers I need to install lots of browsers, not a problem so far.
Well, when I came to dl IE 6.0 the file was only a couple of hundred Kb and when I ran it I had to select the elements I wanted installed and then it downloaded them. This is a problem because I am not on the internet at home. So where can I download the entire browser, as a single file preferably, so that no more downloading is neccesary. And not just IE but also Netscape and any other browsers like that.
Why can’t they all be like Opera???

@David_HarrisonauthorJun 18.2003 — Thanks AdamGundry, they seem to have every browser under the sun in their archive.

Unfortunately Pixelchik, not everyone lives in america. If I could order the CD to be sent to England and pay the p&p in £'s then maybe I would. If you know how I could do that then, please, let me know.

@RibeyedJun 18.2003 — hi,

have you tried some of the peer-to-peer programs, such as Kazaa, Imesh?

here is a site for to d/l some of the peer-to-peer programs:

A word of advice before going on the peer-to-peer programs, make sure your anti-virus software is uptodate, these programs are a nightmare for viruses?

@David_HarrisonauthorJun 18.2003 — Yeah, I've got KaZaA but whenever I've searched for any software on it, it draws a blank every time. Anyway with such a big program like IE it would be so easy for someone to change a file here and there...

So even if I found it on there I wouldn't download it, simply because of virus's like you said.

@RibeyedJun 18.2003 — hi you can try this for IE6, but not sure if it is complete or you still have to d/l stuff.

@DaveSWJun 19.2003 — Hi Lavalamp

In the UK try buying a pc mag with a cover disk. They usually include some browsers (like IE6) on the disk.

@Robert_WellockJun 19.2003 — I have full version clean standalone copies of IE 6.0 and IE 5.5, which I burnt to CD-ROM. If you send a blank CD-R and pay for the postage and packing for both ways I could burn you a copy.

If you want I could add some old versions of Netscape and Opera onto the disk.

Surely you have some friends with broadband who could download M$ IE it is well above 40 MB to download, but I have T-1 here ?.

However, you have to remember to set-up a multi-boot environment with M$ IE and different versions.

@David_HarrisonauthorJun 20.2003 — Hey robert, if you're serious can you pm me your address. Although I'm not sure what you mean by a multi-boot environment. And the only place I know with broadband is school and they probably wouldn't take too kindly to me downloading a few hundred Mb.

Success!
