Resume download after crash ?

Earlier today, I was downloading Xcode 2.3 (915mb), however I came away from my mac and later came back to a kernel panic, upon restarting I noted that the .download file was over 90% complete, however when I tried to open it to try and resume it won't continue.
I also tried to use wget to resume the download (against the .dmg file inside the .download package) however, wget isn't able to get the file.
As I have a download limit, I don't really want to download around 900mb again.
Does anyone have any ideas?

My machine spec is as follows:
PowerMac G4 (FW800) :
Dual 1.25GHz PowerPC G4 (1MB L3 per chip)
DDR-SDRAM PC2700 - 2GB (4x512MB)
700GB Storage (80Gb, 120Gb, 2x250GB RAID)
Toshiba Combodrive (DVD/CD-RW)
Pioneer DVDR-108 (Dual Layer DVD-RW/CD-RW)
24" Dell 2405FPW (Active Matrix LCD - 1920x1600)
ATI Radeon 9800Pro AGP - 128mb
Apple Pro Keyboard
Apple Mighty Mouse
Apple Pro Speakers
Gigabit ethernet
Belkin F5220 5-Port USB 2.0 PCI Card
Belkin 802.11G PCI Card
SiteCom USB BlueTooth Dongle
I'm currently using an 8mb DSL line, the problem isn't the speed (even though I got nowhere near top speed downloading XCode) it's the fact my ISP, imposes a monthly download limit.
I've downloaded the file again since, but would still like a resolution/method of resuming broken downloads in Safari.

    You may have cleanup software that has removed the file(s) from the temp folder.

  • Resume Download after sleep

    Hi,
    When mbp is sent to sleep, safari stops all downloads but doesnt clear from list. When waking up, you click resume download but it starts downloading the file again right from the start despite the fact that it had already downloaded part of it before it was in sleep mode.
    Is there any way to change this, other than using firefox which resumes downloads from the position it was last in before sleep mode.
    Thanks

  • HT1725 Resume Download After Umpteen Error Messages?

    There doesn't appear to be any advice at all on what one does if it is impossible to resume downloading because of an error message (50), despite being online, with a good connection and so on. Very frustrating.

    did you ever resolve this i am having the same problem

  • Film wont resume downloading after iTunes crash

    On purchasing a movie from the iTunes store (Green Lantern), I began to watch it as it was downloading, like I have done with every other film, as I have a realitively fast connection. However, during the movie, iTunes crashed to the desktop. When loading iTunes back up, the movie did not start loading again, like you would expect if you had to close and restart iTunes yourself. The movie also did not appear in the films tab.
    Going back into the store, iTunes recognises I have bought the movie already, yet wont resume the download or show what has been already downloaded. Is there a way to get this film back without purchasing it again, or, if not, a way to get the cost refunded?

    Nope, that doesn't work. iTunes says: "All purchases have been downloaded for this account."

  • Finishing a purchased download after crash

    So, after purchasing a 9 episode season of the Fresh Beat Band for my son, the Apple TV crashed. It downloaded all episodes but one, and that episode can't be found on either the Apple TV or iTunes. It simply skips past it. I can click on the episode in the iTunes store on Apple TV, and when I hit the "purchase" button it tells me that I've already purchased this item and would I like to purchase it again. What gives? If Apple knows that I've purchased it, why won't they let me download it to satisfy a failed download?

    Try check for downloads from the store menu in itunes. If this doesn't help select your purchase history select the missing episode and report a problem.

  • Resume download after error -3259

    iTunes 7.6.2.9
    Windows Vista
    I have a connection that periodically drops out during a download. If I am trying to download a 300MB+ file into iTunes and my connection drops, I get an error message "stopped (err= -3259)", which I think is the error number for a line fault. When I get to the final few MB and the line drops, it is very irratating since when I try to download again it starts from the beginning.
    Is there some way for the download to resume where it had left off, i.e. if I already have 300 MB of a 340 MB download, I want to download only the remaining 40 MB? I think this is the way an FTP download works.
    Thanks for any help,
    Rick

  • Software update in itunes times out 420mb. Is there a way to resume downloading after connection time out?

    Hi,
    While downloading an update for the iphone, my internet connection momentarily stops.
    This interrupts the update download, which then needs to start from the beginning again.
    Is there any way to enable the download to pick up from where it was interrupted?
    Its a 420 mb update so it never finishes before the connection drops out.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    cheers

    you cant resume it from the last position in itunes but could be paused and resumed,check out website,

  • ITunes does not resume downloads for itunes match after quitting

    On my main computer (with my iTunes library), I deleted several songs that matched at 256k but were 128k.
    I had about 300 iTunes match songs downloading and had to quit iTunes.
    Upon quitting, iTunes threw up a dialogue box saying I would be prompted to resume downloads after restarting.
    That never happened.
    Now, among my collection of over 3,000 "matched" songs, I do not know which are the incomplete files.
    Additionally, several of the files had timed out because Apple's server's couldn't keep the connection open, and those too have disappeared from "downloads."
    I tested by trying to download additional "matched" songs, but the timed out and incomplete downloads did not reappear.
    Does anyone have a workaround?
    Thanks!

    I've run into this too.  You should be able to create a smart playlist based on icloud status = matched, then if there are files that can be downloaded, that playlist should show a cloud with a down arrow that you can click on and download everything in that playlist.  Another option is if you have both of the iCloud columns showing in your music category, you should be able to click on the one with the cloud icons to have it sort by those, select the ones with a down arrow and download them.  You should also be able to do a right click and select "download" but if you select all your music it may not show up if there are ineligible songs selected.

  • Surely developers included a basic feature to resume a download after firefox crashes. How do I activate it?

    Surely the developers put in the basic feature of resuming a download after firefox has crashed from being nonresponsive. Where do I find this feature?

    Firefox should be able to resume an unfinished download, if the server that delivered the download supports resume. In the download window, right-click that partial file and see if the '''Resume''' menu item is available.

    After you replace your crashed HD, download it again. You can find your previous purchases in the App Store under the Purchases tab.
    You can download previous purchases as often as you wish.

  • Resume VIDEO downloads after computer disconnect - reboot.

    I have Firefox VER 31, OS WINXP 32 Bit, SP2. How do I "Resume VIDEO downloads" after computer disconnects from the internet or freezes and I reboot the computer?

    You may not be able to resume downloads if the connection is lost forcefully.
    In such a case you would have to backup the .part file and the final file without the .part before starting Firefox.
    Try these steps to resume an unfinished download when you still have the .part file.
    # Move the old .part partial download and the final file without the .part that has size 0 to another location.
    # Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.
    # Copy the two files (.part and 0 byte final) that you moved above back to the download location to replace the new files that were created.
    # Resume the download in Firefox.
    You can consider to use an external download manager if you encounter such issues often.

  • Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use

    Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use. I have uninstalled/re installed twice, cleaned system, adjusted Bridge settings with no change. And I have found no helpful troublshooting tips in forum or on web.

    Does it freeze with other type of cards.  Have seem some post that suggest an imbedded CODEC on the flash card can cause file corruption in Bridge and Mac Finder.
