If the client is interrupted part-way through downloading a file, it will delete the partial file and try to download it again. Neither client has support for resuming downloads at the moment.

Files that were downloaded completely won't be downloaded again.

There is no support for it resuming downloads. It would need new code to be written for it.

Yes - I could probably add support for that in 1.3 and then backport it to 1.2.2.

If you can send me an email to <email address hidden> saying exactly what you want, I'll look at how much work that is.

Cheers

Anyway sir we are finalizing the feature to add to the current 1.2.2 for production, since 1.3 is not for production and email to you what exact we want. because if we pay to 1.3 maybe the cost much higher because a lot to fix, than current version. then since my company is starting only media advertising that's why we don't have budget a big as that, maybe near next year :)

We don't implement features in to the old version. We'd add that functionallity to the new version, and then back port it in to 1.2.2 for you. The code between the two is identical for the downloading so it won't make alot of difference. The main difference 1.2.2 -> 1.3 is the browser rendering engine and the changes made to accommodate that.

Backporting is taking a new feature from a later version of the software, and adding it to an older version.
