Stalled when resumed.

Broadband connection

I set it to 50.But same behaviour.
Your suggestion that server is not supporting is correct.But should kget not
download from the beginning then?
That is the behaviour of IE which never supported resumption.

Firefox is smarter.It does not let you pause!Notifies,it cannot be paused.

I think kget should adopt both these behaviours.First do not let pause.If
forcibly paused,say , by killing, then when beginning next time,start all over
again.It should inform the user. I got baffled.
I think the whole thing is lack of proper handling of server not supporting
resumption.
May I close it?
