Continue downloading after internet connection failure?

Post by AndyPandy »

I have this huge flash film that I'm trying to download with FlashGot. However, once in a while my internet connection fails and the downloading stops.

Is there a way to continue the downloading? Of course, I don't want to download the whole film again.

Whether a download can be resumed will first depend upon the server.
If the server does not allow resume, then it just will not happen.

Second, your download manager must support resume.
I would think most all third party download managers would.

SeaMonkey 2 does support pause/resume. Don't know how well? Don't know if FF does that or not?

Resuming has nothing at all to do with FlashGot. FlashGot does not download anything. It is only a bridge between your browser, a link, & a download manager.
