Firefox, continue download

b0k1 · 02-03-2009, 03:35 AM

hey, i started downloading runes of magic, nearly 4gb. it got around half way and then i paused it to do other stuff so i dont lag. came back to it, pressed resume and it said it could not find source and just cancelled itself, now its 19kb in the download window. although in the download folder its got the 19kb one and another 2gb file, (the first half i downloaded already). is there a way to continue this download? starting the whole download again will nearly cap my net :(
thanks for any help

Hey, the reason for this is probably that you were downloading from an indirect source (www.somewebsite.com/download.php?file=somefile)... I don't think theres a way to continue this(i've tried various methods to no avail). Sorry.

Cheers,
Jamey

Hi,

I agree with jamie. Can you post the url that comes up when you try to download the file. We can have a look at it and see what is going on there.

Cheers!
