I often download 3 or 4 meg of a file then my internet connection
goes down. I would love for mozilla to support resume (both ftp
and http) !

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download file
2. stop.
3. download again

Actual Results:  It replaced the file.

Expected Results:  It should have continued downloading the file from last point.

R.K., do these bugs include resuming a download from a previous mozilla session ?
just like wget --continue can carry on working from a part file. 
I knew about one of the bugs you listed, but that seems concerned with
pause/resume, which is slightly different.

In particular I want to see the dialog "Replace file y/n ?" also have a "resume
?" option, if you see what I mean.

We have a bug about a download manager.
With this download manager you should be able to resuming a download from a
previous mozilla session.
