Recover partial downloded file after lost connection

[Doctorbass]

Is there a way to recover or continue a download file that was stopped after an internet lost connection.. IF I DONT HAVE ANY DOWNLOAD MANAGER INSTALLED?

I was just downloading a 2GB file from Richard's website ( EVTV.ME) .. And I accidently switched off my laptop...
I'm using XP home. I restarted the session and got this message:

Internet Explorer cannot download (file) from media.EV-TV.me
The connection with server ws reset

Thanks in advance!!!

Doc

not a pro here but did you eliminate all the saved data from the interrupted file ? and try again or is it possible the file on the server expired on reset.

If you have the partial file available, you may research to see if any download managers would continue the partial download for you. I imagine a simple google search shouldn't be too difficult...

Btw, Wx-Downloadfast is a very good open-source multi-threading download manager(By multi-threading, I mean it opens multiple connections to the server, so it effectively makes you get closer to your download speed limit instead of the server's (assumably lower) upload speed limit). I've used it for veeery-slow broken asian connections, and it turned out to download much more quickly and, of course, reliably.

As a rule of thumb, I use a download manager for extremely large files (Or files that break up).

If you use Linux you can do:
wget -c http://<blahblah>
where <blahblah> is your url.
That will be OK for a new attempt at a download, but won't recover the one you've done already.
If the download is subsequently interrupted, you can just restart using the same command and it will resume.
But I expect you like paying for your operating system, Doc.
