It tells you that continuing the download at this time is futile, go do some= thing else. waiting , attempting to download the whole thing again, and it w= ill even if cached and ive watched it download it all again, means you have t= o spend all that time waiting to see if its going to finish or not. Believe m= e, Its a big time and (precious) bandwidth waster! I've seen it get to 99% d= ownloaded then declared a file size mismatch and fetch as used, doesn't empl= oy the resume feature so whatever was downloaded last time isn't used the ne= xt even if only 2 minutes prior. partial downloads are not cached. I'm rather curious tho, since I'm pretty certain theres a good reason for= making the big downloads at or near last, what is it? ( no, seriously, why?= not being snarky here or anywhere in this message, honest! no time or patie= nce for that!)
