Can you find this canceled (partial) download, either in the Windows %temp% folder or in the specified download location?

Try these steps to resume an unfinished download when you still have the .part file.

  1. Move the old .part partial download and the final file without the .part that has size 0 to another location.
  2. Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.
  3. Copy the two files (.part and 0 byte final) that you moved above back to the download location to replace the new files that were created.
  4. Resume the download in Firefox.

Were you able to find the unfinished (.part) file because that is the first to check and without this file you can't proceed?
