When the connection comes back up the download file is corrupted. The download manager should support resuming downloads whenever possible and display an error if the downloaded file is corrupted (the data stream gets interrupted). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download any fairly large file (5MB or so) 2. Break the connection to the internet 3. Re-connect to the internet Actual Results: The downloaded file became corrupted and would not open properly. Expected Results: Resumed the download from the point it was interrupted or display an error saying that the downloaded file is corrupted.
