If a server doesn't support resume then download managers cannot resume downloads.įirefox does resume downloads. The download fails after a different time period each time I try it, and after a different number of MB's have transferred - so it's unrelated to the server at. the source file could not be read." īTW - I have watched this closely, and the download quits when the wi-fi connection fails for a moment. Make sure you are connected to the internet, then try the download again." - regarding the error message ". This page says: "This error can occur if the connection to the server was interrupted during the download. When is Firefox going to finally add the ability to resume downloads? Is there some other software I haven't found using Google that will work? could not be read."Īny help would be greatly appreciated. The failure message in the Firefox Downloads window is "source file at http. Again, I reloaded - waited the 59 seconds, and download w/Firefox, and the download starts fine. I also tried DTA instead of FMD with Flashgot, and I get an "access denied" message in DTA. So I will never be able to download a large file. If I just download normally (save to disk) the download starts fine, but it fails after 30 minutes to 1 hour (always different), and my Wi-fi connection will stop briefly - and I have to start all over. I guess it's transparently using a password on their end.
The site I'm trying to get the file from is, which limits downloads speeds to 100kb/sec, and has a 59 second countdown before you get the link. The download gets passed to FDM, and fails, giving the error message "access denied, invalid username or password." No password was required. I just tried Free Download Manager (FDM), again, having the Firefox addon Flashgot use it.
