downloiading files using firefox

synchro

is there away of pausing the download and shutting down the computer and resuming the download at a later stage
i have noticed tat watever way my settings are configured, i must download the file in one go
is there a way around this inconvenience?

It really depends on the server from which you are downloading from.

A dedicated downloader such as Flashget is a far better program than what Firefox has.

Download it now!

I find that the 'Pause Download' button in FireFox never works for me. If you pause it, it never resumes properly.

same here, it's useless

dont use the firefox download manager for large files. use getright

Download Flashget and a Firefox plugin called "Flashgot".

Seamless integration will then be provided between Firefox and Flashget!!!

All download worries will then be over.

I'm not paranoid. Pop ups galore when you use it.

Its not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

I only use the regisatered version.
Never knew there were lots of popups.
Flashgot will work with other downloaders I think as well...give it a go and configure it for your needs "synchro".

Flashget / Flashgot works nicely
