Sometimes the link to a file that I am busy downloading from the internet is lost. In some instances more than 50% of the file has been downloaded when the link is lost. I then have to start the download from the beginning. How do I resume the download from the point where the link was lost?

  • Move the old .part partial download and the final file without the .part that has size 0 to another location.
  • Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.
  • 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.
  • Resume the download in Firefox.
