I've been trying to download America's Army 2.7 for a week now.  It's a 2.49GB file and at 60kb/s it takes 12 hours, right around 6 hours after the download starts my internet always seems to go down.  On the download manager is just freezes how much time was left and how fast it was downloading at the time, so so I try pausing it and restarting and it says it can't find the file that I can easily see sitting on my desktop.  I really want the game but with Firefox I can never get it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start downloading America's Army 2.7
2.Disconnect the internet(I haven't tested it by purposely disconnecting)
3.Attempt to resume download

Actual Results:  
Couldn't resume the download and got an error that it couldn't find the file that was sitting on my desktop.

Expected Results:  
It should have found the file and tried to continue my download.
Reporter: Does it happen with all downloads?  Or just with "America's Army"?  If it just happens with "America's Army", could you give us a link for testing?  In the meantime, please retest with new profile and newest nightly.

For me:

1. Start a download.
2. Disconnect Internet connection in the middle of the download.

Result for me:

Download manager shows Done and I get a corrupted file.

Hopefully, Jeff Walden will get around to fixing this bug sometime in the near future.

I would suggest using a separate download manager for large files for now.

Unix: aria2 (command line, http://aria2.sourceforge.net/), D4X, or KGet
Windows: GetRight, wxDownload Fast (http://dfast.sourceforge.net/), Free Download Manager, or ReGet
Mac: Speed Download or iGetter
Product: Firefox → Toolkit
