Resuming Downloads...

[Marineking]

Okay, I've got a crappy wireless connection that disconnects every five minutes. As such, I'm rarely able to finish a download without the help of a download manager, and most sites these days block those.

My question, is it possible to resume an interrupted download with Firefox? I know that the file isn't deleted after it fails, and occasionally when I restart the download it just picks up where it left off. Is there any way to do this on command, instead of just randomly?

i dunno. sometimes when my internet gets disconnected it just leaves a partially downloaded file in whatever directory i was saving it to. i have no idea how to resume either so id like to know.

to be safe though i try to just use flashget or something for all big downloads so i dont have to worry bout this problem.

Hmm, I'm not sure if thats what I'm looking for, but I'll try it out, thanks.

Try out the Opera Browser.

It resumes your download, if the server supports.

(One of the reasons why I prefer Opera over Firefox )

bleh opera, anyway problem with flashget is sites such as megaupload won't keep downloading even if you don't disconnect
