When you have these huge files, it’s quite possible that something will glitch or hiccup, causing you to end up with an interrupted download. Even on a fast connection that’s a multi-hour download! Heck, when I downloaded the release candidate for Microsoft Windows 7, the file was over 2GB. Yeah, when you’re downloading 72Kbyte images or even 1.3MB PDF files, you probably don’t need to be able to resume a download, but if you’re getting larger files, like videos or even software, it’s common to be requesting 50MB, 100MB or even larger files. I’m not sure what version you’re running, but in the version of Safari I have on my Mac OS X system (“Version 4 Public Beta”) it definitely does have the capability you’re talking about.īefore we go there, though, readers may be wondering why might you want to be able to resume downloads?
