If e.g. a download advanced 95% completion, and the connection is then dropped, the download starts again from scratch. Mozilla could make use of FTP's RESTART (REST) command (RFC 959), and of HTTP servers supporting byte ranges (RFC 2068). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
The backend code is present; theres just no frontend. Dupe of bug 164878 + friends *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 164878 ***
