It's primitive and pathetic for an age old feature that should have been in browsers from the start. Instead download managers are still the only reliable way to resume a download. Firefox is NOT WORTH relying on to resume your downloads. FireFox resume rarely works. It’s primitive and pathetic for an age old feature that should have been in browsers from the start.

I'm using FF3 RC1 and I still cant resume downloads. It sucks too because if FF gets an error and has to close I lose my downloads. Sucks having to redownload a 700MB file when I only had like 10MB/s to go! I wish this feature worked. :'( Does this feature work? I’m using FF3 RC1 and I still cant resume downloads.

The number one reason that made me use them is - Ability to resume downloads - Ability to delay downloads Some other plusses of download managers are: - Ability to throttle bandwidth - Ability to parse a page and download multiple files (very useful if you're looking at an apache directory index) - Ability to queue downloads (not absolutely necessary... but can be a plus) Now firefox has tackled the most important issue! yay... hopefully they continue down that road and implement other niceties that were previously provided by download managers...!
