If a download is interrupted it can only be resumed if downloaded from the same
server. Should be able to resume from a different source.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start downloading a large file (PSP8 in the above URL, for example)
2. Have your connection interrupted part way through.
3. Try downloading same file again from a different server.
Actual Results:
Download starts over at the beginning.
Expected Results:
Recognize the file and at least offer to resume.
This problem will likely come up most often when attempting large problematic
downloads that are available from various mirrors, or from sites that pick from
several servers for you.
I'd speculate it would be easier to fix if bug 69938 were resolved such that
downloads went directly to the chosen destination, and are not deleted if the
download fails or is cancelled.
I don't use the download manager, so I don't know if this is correctly
attributed. Just a best guess.

This has nothing to do with downloading from a different server. You can't
resume a download from where you left off from the *same* server either.

Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?
Moz. resumes downloads from the same URL if the partial download is still in the
cache. I just tried it at
http://www.climateprediction.net/download/participate.php and it works fine.
What I'm after with this bug is to remove the URL dependancy from the equation.
If Bug 18004 covers this, fine.
