103666 2002-12-06 04:35:00 was just downloading a file with IE6 and my internet connection cut out, I wasn't too worryed and went back to the site and started the download again saving the file to the same directory. I was amazed to find htat IE picked up the download from where it left off.

I just have a few quetions about this. If is stop a download and then try to continue the download after a reboot will it still work? how long has this been a feature in IE?

103667 2002-12-06 04:38:00 auto resume feature has been in IE since about IE5.01. only works if the net gets cut out not if you stop the download and the server must support resume. i find it a pain as you never know if it will ever resume. a download manger is still way better. tweak'e (174)
103668 2002-12-06 07:39:00 tru tru. nothing beats a good download manager, but still interesting. Pity microsoft doesn't make a flashy lil interface and include a basic download manager.

You learn something new every day, thanx tweak'e
