hello - I am downloading a mulit part file. downloading part 3. and firefox download window returned failed. I did not loose internet connection. So am not sure why this happened. this file is size 256mb and 112mb had already downloaded.

I would like to know how do i RESTART the download so i do not have to re-download the 112mb already downloaded.

I tried removing .part at the end of the file (file 112mb size) and then click the green round icon in my download window this did not work. It made the 112mb file become 4kb.

i am on latest firefox version, on mac snowleopard 10.6x thankyou

  • 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.
