Resuming broken downloads
Recent user of JD, have v0.5.859, just joined this forum. Last few months my ISP has a very unreliable broadband, most skype phonecalls broken, and I assume is the cause of most JD downloads to break. I heard a feature of download managers in general was to 'resume broken download, so if for example you have succeeded in downloading 90% of a file, on next retry, instead of starting from the beginning each time, it intelligently appends the resumed stream to the existing file so that on completion, you have 1 good complete file. I thought this was a major feature of DL managers as it improves efficiency a lot on poor lines. Currently I am losing over a week to dl even 1 60MB file because it never reaches 100%. Is JD not able to use this method, and if not, will it be incorporated in future version ? Thankyou
