SUMMARY
If your modem is disconnected from your Internet service provider (ISP)
while you are downloading a file from the Internet, the file download
does not automatically resume from the point at which it was interrupted
when you reconnect to your ISP. You must start the file download again.
MORE INFORMATION
The versions of Internet Explorer listed above do not have the capability
to resume downloading a file from the point at which the download process
was interrupted. For file download to continue from the point at which it
was interrupted, both the Internet server and Internet Explorer would
have to support this functionality. The Internet server would require the
ability to insert file recovery information into the download stream, and
Internet Explorer would require the ability to compare the attributes of
the file that was not completely downloaded with the recovery information
provided by the server.
