I'm trying to download something and it was taking too long so i had to pause it and shut it down over night i wake up, put it on resume and stops...
I've been trying to download something for 3 days which shouldve been done in less than one, but firefox thinks its okay to make any download fail if you pause it and shut down your computer. I'm pretty sure that firefox stated that when you pause a download you can pick it right back up exactly where you left off. Looks like thats not the case at all...

This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.

- Resuming a download after pausing it is dependent upon the server from where the download is coming from. Not all servers have the resume functionality.
- Doesn't always work if Firefox has been closed and then resume is tried.
