The Resume Download feature of Fetch allows you to resume a partially completed download, which can save time compared to starting the whole download over. This is handy if you accidentally stop one before it completes. Since Fetch tries to detect stalls and network or server errors and automatically resume downloads for you, you should not need this feature under most circumstances.
The Resume Download window shows a list of the downloads that can be resumed. To resume a transfer, select its name and then click the Resume button, or double-click its name.
An interrupted transfer also leaves a partial file in your download folder or the location you dragged the file to originally. You can also resume a download by double-clicking the partial file in the Finder.
The window lists the name of each partially downloaded file, the amount of the file remaining to download (by actual size and percentage), and the total size of each file. You can sort the list by clicking any column heading, or you can sort the list chronologically by clicking the leftmost unlabeled column heading.
To make Fetch forget about a partial download, select a file from the Resume Download list and press the Delete key, or choose the Edit > Delete menu command.
The Resume Download window is displayed when you choose the Resume Download command.
There are a number of limitations on this feature. Fetch can only successfully resume a download if:
