Pulling the cable to simulate a dropped internet connection gets a Software
Update dialog:

Completing the Software Update

There were problems checking for, downloading or installing this update. Deer
Park could not be updated because:

AUS: No data was received (Please try again)

(note: if download is paused, the plug pulled then download resumed the message is:
AUS: Connection Refused)

The only option is to "Finish"

Retrying Software update begins the download from the start.

note: Pause and Resume work as expected if the connection isn't broken.

Making this more robust would be nice but this probably isn't a blocker.

Still getting incorrect behavior in 1.8rc1. Let's not forget this for 1.9.

nsUpdateService.js needs to handle the download error more gracefully :-(

Just verified that background downloads do start from where the download left off and when using the UI it will fail.
