I Downloaded the DX8.1 SDK using download accelerator plus. I didn''t go to the MSDN site however.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp?
@the search box type "8.1" and download the appropriate version. (C++,VB,Full) It work fine for me with DAP, and i''m on 56k. (DAP also said resume was supported)

Good Luck.

THANKS!!!!

That works great. It''s the same link as from MSDN except this time I made it so it didn''t search for a mirrored file, which is why it said it wouldn''t resume the other time. Thanks again.

Also, to DracosX, you can take it off your site now. Thanks anyway.
I posted a comment to Microsoft from their web page about my 56K modem and the trouble I was having downloading the SDK. I asked if there was any way for me to order a CD, gave them all my information (name, address, phone number, e-mail, etc.) and to my surprise, a DirectX 8.1 SDK CD ROM arrived in the mail a few days later. They didn''t give a reason why they mailed it to me maybe it was Christmas spirit (my e-mail was on Dec 21), but they didn''t even charge me the usual $10 for shipping. I got an e-mail a few days later about the CD being mailed because Microsoft wasn''t distributing the SDK on CD at this time. (?!?)

Hey, sorry about that, I shoulda checked the file permissions before I went to bed, but it was late.

I'll fix it, even though you already got a link, you might be able to pull it off our server a bit faster

DracosX, you don''t need it on your site. I''m downloading it from MSDN now. Thanks anyway.
