Today a lot of sites and vendors requires a web-logon to download files (Xilinx for example).  This is usually handled by some session cookie or the like. 

Mozillas auto-resume for downloading files makes these fail badly (usually the files are overwritten by some html) if the browser was shut down uncleanly (regardless if it was Firefox or the OS that crashed). This might destroy hours worth of downloading which could otherwise have been resumed...

It would be nice, if downloads would not be auto resumed, but paused and a warning "you have paused download" to be shown.
