Hey,

I just downloaded a 4.1GB file.. but Firefox said it had finished at 3.48GB, now I can't extract it as its damaged.

Is there any programs I can use to tell it to carry on downloading the file, kinda like the way torrents check what data is already there, then gets the needed data.

I don't wanna waste another 4GB of bandwidth :/

Thanks

Stephen!

Yes you can...rename it to a .dat file and then use a program such as Download Accelerator Plus to continue downloading it.

I had the same thing UPLOADING an adobe cs3 setup file the other day... uploading in firefox and stopped randomly at 99%... incomplete file. That took ages (upload speeds) and used a ton of bandwith.

Hmm, I don't know much about Firefox, but you could try downloading the file in IE because I never get any problems as I have IE.

I pity you sir.

And @ Tom, either do the way Simon said or re download it.

You're going to have to re-download it, but you've already said you won't.

So er, ask someone to download it for you and put it on disk :)
