Slight Offtopic - why after so many years Chrome & Firefox have so poor support for resuming interrupted file downloads? In case of Firefox I am almost sure it was better in past. I have to use 'wget -c' or https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ for bigger filles.
- chrisrhoden 8y agoAs I suspect you may already know, this is dependent on the server 1) indicating support for byte range requests and 2) correctly implementing it. I don't think I have noticed Firefox getting worse at this over time, but I'm not downloading large files every day. Would you be willing to share where you're noticing this?

I think the support in Firefox does not have changed. [0]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Range_requests https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Range_requ...
