Seems to work ok for me. Just make sure you're logged in before you try to resume.

Yeah, that's what I figured you had to do when I did mess around with it. It still didn't work for me though. Oh well.

I don't know how you guys got Opera to work, but when I used Opera (before I used FireFox) I could download (like any other dl manager), but it would cancel once I got offline.

I'm using Foxfire as a dl manager but when ever i get disconnected the dl is stoped and when i click retry it tells me the file is done but the file is only 91Kb

Is there anyway to have a dl manager or anything that has a resume function that works on the .Org?

Probably not.

If it's direct or indirect, try a 3rd party dl manager like Download Accelorator Plus or GetRight. If it's local files, Opera or Mozilla are your best bets. Every time I resumed an AMV it resumed and finished in time (stupid dial up days...)

I use Download Accelerator but it doesn't come up unless I DO download. When I try to dl a video I never even get it to start, I just constantly get messages saying I attempted a download too soon after a previous attempt.

Download accelerators don't work on Local downloads, they only work on Direct and Indirect. And that message states that you have tried downloading it too many times within a minute (I think it's a minute). I don't really see the need for download accelorators unless you're on dialup or are getting a VERY slow connection on cable. I used to clock about 2.98 kbps from the ORG on dialup, there were no other sites that had the same file, so I was stuck with that. I downloaded CS 1.5 Retail patch from many different sites at 3.9-4 kbps on dialup only because I was using GetRight. One of my friends uses GetRight for the sole purpose of resuming downloads from indirect and direct, otherwise he has me get them from local (he has dialup and I have cable)
