Inability to RESUME download in ffox - how can you see if server supports resume e.g. any of the filehosts

hi: i have been trying to dl from filepost (file size 260) and occasionally it stops at 240.
i tried the answer in support to "dummy resume:"
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/672203?esab=a&as=aaq
it did not work.
how can i test if the site allows resume?
or do i need to test for a specific file on that filehost allows resume?
thankyou

Hi Cor-el
I found Opera. Opera browser does not compare to firefox greatness. Nor does their support help forums.
But Opera does have RESUME button on their download window.
The trick with opera, is to open the download manager in a new window, and make it look like Firefox great add-on DownloadManager Tweak.
then it looks the same, so you know what your doing
AND it has a download / RESUME button
fyi:
> I tested Opera Download on all the failed ones (trying the tricky rename workaround) '''Opera RESUMED in all 9 test cases.'''
> and where i could not get firefox to resume, not once in all 9 test cases.
so my conclusion is the workaround is not very good. And it had nothing to do with the server i was downloaiding from (in these 9 test cases)
perhaps..... in a future version: - firefox can also have the wonderful resume button, and the add-on Download Manager TWEAK, can also have the RESUME download button.

  • How can you see what the WLC ACL is denying?

    How can you see what the acl on our WLC5508 is denying? The counter keeps on going up but what is getting blocked is nowhere to be seen.

    You are right but you can monitor that through the hits counts on the (WLC)Security->Access crontrol list === Hits
    It will give you some idea for trouble shooting also you have the cmd line for details analysis.

  • How  can you load local server urls on application start?

    Background:
    I've been searching for close to two days for an answer to this question, it's full of gotchas and I can't quite get it figured out.
    I have an application which contains several web services. These services load up listeners when the services are invoked which makes them available for input. The user has the option of disabling automatic load of these services and invoking them manually by typing in the local url and starting the app. The can allow the autoload which uses a the or allowing the auto load to start. Currently the local url is hardcoded in a property file and this is how the services knows the local endpoint to envoke when it autostarts.
    <servlet id="AutoStart_01">
    <servlet-name>autoStart</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.loadmy.StartupClass.Here</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    This works all fine and well until it's deployed onto a machine that runs a local weblogic cluster that has more than one jvm (and multiple ports) loading the application up.
    Problem
    The question is, how can you get the applicaton to recoginize the local url for the jvm that is running which can be on different ports? Here's what I've tried
    A - Using Inet.Address - This doesn't let you know what port your application is on
    B - Using the load servlet on start up ( Only the init() function is called and the request object hasn't been created and the request object is what contains ther protocol, server and port information)
    C - Loading a jsp page (READ... purposefully loading a jsp page) on application start. The thought here is that this contains a request object, but unfortunately on this doesn't work in my servlet container (currently tomcat 6 but the application is for a web logic machine)
    D - I thought about possibly using System.properties() but no luck there
    I'm at witts end on this one and I know there is something that can recoginze the local servlet container and extract the url and port from it.
    Any suggestions would be great.

  • How can you see all the open tabs?

    When I use the drop-down Windows menu, it only shows the name of the window, not the tabs within each window. And I don't an option for "Activity Window" (like on Safari), or anything else that will show me all open tabs. How can I see them, as flipping through every open window is a pain....

    Hi,
    You can try to set '''browser.allTabs.previews''' to true in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config]. (In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.

  • HT5616 How can you see a list of devices registered to use our apple ID for FaceTime and other services?

    Sometimes I will get a notification that x device is using my apple ID for FaceTime (or other services). Sometimes it is just generic Mac Book Pro. His can I see which devices are using my ID (and can you see more details than just the name)?

    I just started getting this message too.  Just started the last couple of days.  It doesn't give a time that it was used.  All it says that "appleid" was used to sign in to facetime on Macbook.  My Macbook is not named "Macbook."  It also doesn't correlate to times when computer is being used.

  • How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

  • How can you see matching tags in code view?

    I'm trying to figure out how to do a very basic, common function in DW CS5.5 that's pretty much in every other IDE I've seen.
    In NetBeans, for instnace, when you load a program, then click on a DIV tag, the program automatically highlights the end /DIV tag later in the code. This is extremely helpful when trying to find  the extent of a section, especially in complex sites where nesting of DIVs is common.  The function works the opposite way also, where you can highlight the end tag and the system will find the beginning one.
    I can use the Coding Toolbar to collapse that section, expand it, and other things, but nowhere do I see a function that will just highlight the beginning and ending tags. 
    Is this possible in DW? If so, how can I set it up to do that?
    Thanks.

  • How can you see a hidden Datasource?

    Using Crystal Reports v.11.0.0.1282 I have written a report, which is running through a C++ program.  I recently had to change Datasources, and now, the report will only run on the c++ program if the data is in  the old datasource and not the new one.  When I look at the datasource location expert, I only see the one I had just changed to.  However, when I look at the dependancies I see this problem:
    Error     Data Source: Verify for table Command failed. Possible report corruption.     C:\acclaim\reports\Invoice Support.rpt
    Warning     Data Source: There are unlinked tables in your report. In some cases this could lead to an excessive quantity of records.     C:\acclaim\reports\Invoice Support.rpt
    Also when looking at or trying to change the links, I see this error:
    More than one datasource or a stored procedure has been used in this report.  Please make sure that no SQL Expressoin is added and no server side group-by is performed. 
    How on earth can I see where the problem is.  I believe as the writer of the c++ program does, that it is still referencing the old Database, but I can't see it. 
    PLEASE HELP!
    thanks you in advance!

    this is an ODBC connection, but yes I have tried a redo of the connection. 
    I also can run the same query though my SQL manager, and get the results which I see in my report.  There does not really seem to be a problem with my report.  The problem seems to be with the program which is using it.  The man which had written is, is adamant it is not his program, and I am adamant that it is not my report.  However, the above errors may indicate that there is in face an error with my report.  I haven't been using crystal reports for very long so it's very frustrating when there is no documentation helpful to the errors.

  • I REALLY hate the page up/page down functions that automatically loaded with the program. I LIKE to use my page up/page down keys for web browsing. How can I get these keys to work properly, or any of the keys to work "normally" as I have in the past?

    When using certain keys on my keyboard, they don't work like they are "intended" to be used. I HATE how Firefox has changed those functions without my request. How can I get my keyboard to function as it "should"?
    Thank you.

  • How can you see the progress when using a ForEach loop?

    Hi,
    I have an array with about 100 containers in it. My main thread uses a ForEach loop with an inner case structure with six possibilities. My previous program had all the steps in a very long list, executing them one by one. I find this new approach is much nicer to look at, and easier to change, but there isn't really any way of telling how far along the test is (unless you know it by heart). In the long list approach, you could see all the Done/Passed outcomes and how many remained, now there is no way of telling.
    Any tips on making some kind of progress indication? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As ObjectReference parameter, you should use 'Nothing'. The last parameter (synchronuous?) you can choose true or false. Please refer to the documentation of PostUIMessageEx for further information.
    The numeric parameter should range between 0-100. Since it is "Progress Percent", this makes sense, does it?
    The status bar has several panes, one e.g. displaying the logged in user or the used process model. The pane on the right most side will display the Progress Percent if used in your sequence.
    The default reporting, as already stated, includes this feature. So if you have a sequence with e.g. 500 steps, the reporting "will have a visible progress" in that pane (with less than 100 steps, it is most often too fast to see). Remember that NI Sequence Editor and the Full Featured User Interfaces do have this feature, the Simple UI does not have it.
