Those work *only* when there is "cooperation" at the other end... 


Not so Robert!  The website has no idea who or what is asking
for the information.  What it does know is the "what" sends
it the location of the file desired (URL), and which block is currently
required.  You can ask for the different blocks in the
file in any order you want.  The download protocol is supposed
to ask for bad blocks to be repeated until they are successfully
downloaded.

There are a number of nice download managers that will go to
the 7 seas to make sure that a file is downloaded completely.

It shouldn't come as any big surprise that the one included with
Internet Explorer doesn't do a good job.  Not even the one that
comes with Mozilla, or Firefox does all that good of a job.  At
least with the Mozilla download manager, you can set how tenacious
it is.

I do not use IE; i *RIPPED* it out by its guts from Win98SE and as much as possible (but impossible to completely) in Win2K.
