Just you hate it when in downloading a file and in middle either due to a bad network or power cut the download stops and you have to start all over again,well today is your lucky day because I got the perfect solution to that problem, some of you might already know this method but those who don't this will be a time/money saver.
Most of us download files from internet which always ranges from few KB's to MB's or GB's.
Like I said in a situations you downloading a file (lets say 1GB) through a download manager and after sometime
the file is downloaded till 60% but the site from which you are downloading doesn't support Resume feature.
and all of sudden your download is interrupted from reasons ranging from:
1) ISP gone down...network connectivity Error
2) Electricity gone...(no UPS)...dammit!!!
3) Sudden PC restart/shutdown (Oh Man... )
4) Any other condition which suits here
what you will do then,the download manager gave up saying "Source file returned HTML file..do u want to replace it?"but u don't want an HTML (few KB's)
even if u click on resume the Download Manager will return the same message...
now all u will do is curse the incident and begin downloading from start (0%)
NO but wait before doing the same thing again you can save a hell lot of time by Resuming the download (which u might be thinking should have worked...)
sure it won't work straight away
just follow these simple steps
1)Never yes u hear that right "Never Ever..." click on the Yes button when the above ".HTML.." or any other message appears. Just Ignore/Cancel the Message Box.
2) If you have done step 1 then all is well...Now read the below theory
"All Download Managers including Torrent Downloader (e.g Utorrent) never downloads file in a sequential manner...all they download the file in Random order if u have seen the progress bar"
OK so now your download manager must have 60% (or any other amount) of file downloaded in your harddisk but not as a complete file
the file name would say e.g file001.odp or file001.rtv (the . suffix will differ according to the download managers as all of them append their file extension before it is completed)
so,just take a backup of the above partially downloaded file and delete it from its original location and also delete it from the Download Managers Queue
The above bold line is very very important.
3) Now,go again to the website download link and click the download button the file will start downloading again (from 0%) and now as soon as it completes few KBs just pause the download
and copy/paste back the previous backup file over to new one and click Resume...
Voila! You have your download starting from 60% again (or wherever it was left)
Note: This is helpful for those who have Limited MB plan/Slow internet...even high speed net users can use this method (not to shame)
Well I hope this helps,please click the share button.
