257159 - FTP resume doesn't work with Mozilla's download manager.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18004

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Andreas Røsdal]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040817
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040817

Resuming FTP downloads is useful if your connection fails, or if you for some
reason want to pause the download and continue later. Currently, Mozilla doesn't
support such a feature properly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any FTP server, or for example the one provided as URL.
2. Start downloading either file from the FTP server.
3. Stop your internet connection. (Pull the plug, or whatever..)


Actual Results:  
Mozilla then gives some error message that it can't download the file. There is
no option for continuing to download the file, and it doesn't happen
automatically when the connection is restored again.

Expected Results:  
There should be an option to resume a failed download in the download manager.
