| 737123 | 2009-01-10 20:46:00 | As some of u know, i was downloading windows 7 over night. Just this morning when i went to check, someone had paused the download:eek: I asked everyone that lived at my household and none of them even went near my computer! Does anyone know if firefox(automaticly) pauses downloads at around 1 o'clock? |

| 737124 | 2009-01-10 21:32:00 | The server end probably stopped it. If it doesnt resume, the file has probably moved,or the link is dead | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 737125 | 2009-01-10 23:01:00 | no, it just paused i didn't get cut off or anything just paused | pcuser7895 (12979) | ||
| 737126 | 2009-01-10 23:21:00 | some dowload managers will pause the file if it stops downloading to many time or hits to many server errors. | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 737127 | 2009-01-10 23:33:00 | but its just plain firefox i use | pcuser7895 (12979) | ||
| 737128 | 2009-01-10 23:46:00 | I found with firefox (especially with some files from the MS site), file downloads did stop when I downloaded with firefox. They just stopped. Why I dont know. I downloaded Vista x64 SP1 the other week. The download stopped 1/2 way. It kept timing out. In the end I used IE and IE7Pro, which can resume downloads. It didnt stop once. |

| 737129 | 2009-01-10 23:51:00 | The W7 download from MS site, which is now up and running asks to install their download manager which does have a resume if the connection is interupted for any reason. Thats using IE, personally Ihave had downloads from MS clap out using FF. IE, no problems at all. |

| 737130 | 2009-01-11 03:02:00 | I hope mine is ok. Ihug/Vodafone have been resetting my connection all day every 15-20 minutes or less. Might be this Fair Use policy bullsh*t thing they have. At 92% so far so I hope it has been worthwhile. |

Must be microsoft trying to get people off firefox and onto Ie but that won't work for me! (i hope nobody from microsoft sees this post, they might just cut me off and send me a messge to go on IE!) |
