How to create batch download using Orbit Downloader v1.5.3

Web sites that have many files often use file-naming conventions whereby they name their files using a series of numbers or letters. For example a MP3 site may name the MP3 files as hot-track1.mp3, hot-track2.mp3 … hot-track12.mp3. From this you can see that they are just a series of MP3s numbered from 1 to 12. Or, a photo sharing site may name its photos as tree-a.gif, tree-b.gif … tree-z.gif. From this, you can see that they are just a series of photos numbered from a to z.

Using Orbit Downloader, you can create a batch download to download a series of downloads from website easily. And there is an example tutorial below:

1. You can open the “Create batch download” dialog through arbitrary way below:
(1) From the main menu “File”-->”Create batch download…”:


(2) From the tray icon’s context menu:

great tutorial!!

maybe you can help me with this small problem
(this is a letter to speedyshare.com)
Too much connections from your computer during this hour.
i get this message when i try to download a file on your servers. I only downloaded six small files (5,000 kb)

What can I do so i don't see this? Proxy?
I am currently using a program called Orbit. I am using it because when ever I tried to download a file off your servers (regularly) it would only download 30% and then stop. This Orbit program downloads 100% and is fast.
thanks for reading.

My question is, can I download in an other way? I want to download midi files from a site, but the files have very different name, and I can't use wildcard there, the names' length are much more than 5 characters.
What can I do?
So I want to use (*).mid but for up to 20 character long filename
