I have been downloading a game(560mb) and it reached 99% and I received an error stating it can't continue and it would have to reset. I made copies of the the file as it was downloading incase something like this would happen. The last part file I have is 540mb.
How can I get the downloader to continue from that part file so I don't have to start again? Where does the GOG Download store this information?
I have waited around 8hrs for the download to finish and I don't have a lot of net to waste so this is really annoying.
Thanks.

Cyrem: It's Firefox. I'm now trying the download with Free Download Manager however if I attempt to pause the download and start it again, it fails because of an invalid username and password(but as you know this password would be for the server).
So the only way to download is to never pause and leave the PC running and hope nothing happens. Pretty lame...

JudasIscariot: Try this instead:
Go to your account and download the game from there using the Firefox downloader and see if that helps. I don't use anything but that and I haven't had any problems.

Yes I've tried downloading using the default Firefox Downloader. But if I pause it fails to resume every time. I've tried to do that same on another PC also connected to the net here and it returns the same results.

Why do you have to pause ??

I don't have to, but the download take about 7-8 hours and I will have to leave the pc running over night(which I don't want to do). And in the case of when It failed when It got to 99% like the first time I want to be about to resume the broken file in FDM.

I'm not getting anywhere... I left it downloading and got to 119mb then it canceled out and I can't reconnect the download. I have wasted GB's of my net trying to download this game.
Could the problem be elsewhere?

It could be something with GOG because I have been experiencing some general slowdowns just accessing the site itself to the point where I could not access the site itself.

Yesterday the Chicago area was partially disconnected from the net, and that means a lot of rerouted traffic... Speed dropped rather dramatically for me as well, but today everything seems to be back to normal.

P.S. I just tried downloading with FlashGot and it works perfectly. Make sure that under Firefox/Tools/Options/Applications, the value for Application is "Always Ask" as you can't get FlashGot to capture GoG's download links through the right click menu.
Then start the download as normal, but this time you'll be given the choice of downloading through FDM or as usual.

Yes I did do this.
I doubt that there is a link between the GOG site slowdown and the downloading issues. I believe this because I pretty sure the files are hosted elsewhere and not on GOG's server.
