Ok..couple of simple questions.
When your downloading say,a 2.5 mb file (zipped)sometimes you get to 2mb and it suddenly says download complete.The problem is you've only got 80% of the file.Why does it do that?
Secondly is there any way of getting the bit you missed,or do you have to do it all again.(bit of a pain on a dial-up connection)

Thanks in advance
Paul.

Use "Getright" - resumable downloads.

Or netvampire, does the same thing (as getright, not the aborting problem)
