It is better to use an external Download Manager if you are on dial-up or have an unreliable connection. An external Download Manager offers better support for resuming interrupted downloads than the built-in Firefox Downloads Manager. Use an external Download Manager if you need download features not offered by the Firefox Download Manager.
You can use the FlashGot extension to integrate an external Download Manager in Firefox.
Backup the .part file and the final file without the .part before starting Firefox. Try these steps to resume an unfinished download when you still have the .part file.
- Move the old .part partial download and the final file without the .part that has size 0 to another location.
- Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.
- Copy the two files (.part and 0 byte final) that you moved above back to the download location to replace the new files that were created.
- Resume the download in Firefox.
A UPS power backup may help give you some time in keeping your computer and modem/router running during power outage. Though it will not help if your internet service in area is interrupted also due to power outage in area.
