downloads getting cut off? how do i resume?

[christopher]

ok.. i was downloading something, rather large.. gets to about 20%.. the box is still up.. then the network goes down for a sec.. and the download stops.. the dl box is still up with the 20%.. but it doesnt download anymore..

how do i resume this?..

where is that 20% i downloaded already?

i wound up canceling that box out, and doing it all over, and im back to 21% after over an hour..

[christopher]

it did it again... that's twice i've been past 20% downloading this **** file.. and it just stops.. because the network stops for a sec, then kicks back up..

this time i'm not closing the file download box and am going to wait to see if any of you guys know the answer..

I suggest you get Familiar

Try Flashget / Download Accelerator Plus. Both do a good job.

just search on download.com.. most of them are freeware.

I use flashget myself..
