In the past if I lost contact during a download and later again tried to
download the same file, in many cases the download would continue from the
point where contact was lost.
I now have IE6 and XP pro and this feature no longer seems to work. If I
have say half of any file downloaded and lose contact,i now have to start
again from the begining.
Why is this? Do I have something not set correctly? Can I set some
"preference" somewhere?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
I don't know if this behaviour is now by design as 'they'
call it, but it is a good idea to install a download
manager (www.download.com, search..)
There are a lot of free managers with cool features.
-download resume after lost connection
-original URL's saved
-more than one donwnload connection if available for fast
downloading.
(useful for DSL or Cable)
