Unless Microsoft doesn't allow range requests, any half-decent client will happily resume an interrupted download. This includes browsers and command-line utilities like curl and wget.
Edit: Just tried one of the files with curl. They resume just fine, and the download URLs aren't even tied to a session or IP. I copied the URL from my local browser and used curl on a remote server. No problem. :)
- DarkLinkXXXX 11y agoBrowsers don't resume downloads afaik.
- comex 11y agoBrowsers certainly do resume downloads. Many sites don't honor range requests, though, typically due to passing the file data through some script. And some expire URLs.
- DarkLinkXXXX 11y agoOkay, I didn't know that. I made that assumption because I've never seen a web browser resume a download that was interrupted.
- ojii 11y agoOdd, I could've sworn I used curl when I had this issue a while back. Maybe they changed something or I did something terribly wrong. Thanks for testing though.
- yxlx 11y agoRemember that when resuming with curl, you need to explicitly tell it that you are resuming.
