Broken downloads don't resume after an internet disconnection-reconnection
Hi guys, First of all I would like too thank you for this wonderful browser.. My problem is that if I get disconnected from the internet when I'm in the middle of a download, it gets broken and can no longer resume. This is especially annoying when the download size is large. In this case you have to download it again from the start. A resume capability is already implemented in Firefox but it only works if you manually click the pause/resume. Could you automate this feature in case of an internet disconnection? Thanks

It is better to use an external Download Manager (DM) if you are on dialup or have an unreliable connection.
An external Download Manager offers better support for resuming interrupted downloads than the build-in Firefox DM.
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.
Thanks for the reply. I know about download managers but they tend to clutter your computer with useless programs and ads... If Firefox has part of the required functionality, why not add a bit of code to make downloads more reliable?... Do you see what I mean? If someone wants "multiple connection" downloads then he can go to a download manager since it would require much more coding and debugging to get implemented on Firefox.
