Alison can you look at this and give a blocking decision please?

Hi Henry,

This seems a network switching issue, we unable to download files when switching network between Wifi and Data connection while downloading.
Could you help to check or dispatch this issue? Thank you.

Is it expected to resume the download after switching network? Since there's switch, a HTTP request must be made again to either resume or restart the download. (For resuming the download, the server must support HTTP range request.) Does anyone know if the resuming/restart is actually expected?

Thanks!

I think we need UX's opinions for this issue.
Hi Harly, how do you think about it?

From a UX standpoint, it would definitely be better to resume download once the system has connected to another internet connection(either Wifi or data connection).
