Hey, great extension by the way, but wanted to know, does the pause feature for the downloads in progress break and/or corrupt files if it is resumed during the same session? What about if they are resumed during another session? Thanks.

The pause feature uses the built-in download manager's pause capability, and to be honest it doesn't work very well. Pausing within a session should not break or corrupt files, but in my testing the download fails to resume about 30% of the time. (when it does resume the download is fine) Resuming in another session doesn't work - but it is planned to be built into firefox 1.5

Thanks for the repy, but how much longer until Firefox 1.5, or did you mean 1.0.5? Also, if I'm running with a dynamic IP broudband DSL, can I pause a download, shut off my DSL connection but keep the browser open, the reopen my DSL connection and resume the download. Does this keep in the boundaries off same-sesion browsing? Anyway, single session browsing pausing and resuming seems to work everytime I tried it, but I don't like talking risks on big long files. Thanks.
