I want to resume my downloading file which was interrupted, and found the solution from this link http://geeks.im/resume-interrupted-and-broken-downloads-in-firefox/ which is only possible from replacing existing .PART file. But I did not found any .PART file on windows 8.1, any help?

Chosen solution

The .part file can be in the Windows temp folder or in the final download location that you selected when you saved the file.

Note that files in the temp folder are not guaranteed to stay there and may get cleaned up at any time.

It's usually at the location where you save the file, but maybe you accidentially remove the download, so it removed the .PART file?
