Oh, Chrome then. I've had difficulties using that for downloads within the last 2 versions, so I feel your pain. I've just been using IE9, seems much more reliable, and resuming/download failures are pretty much better... Eh, give it a s**t, not much to lose eh?
I am useing free down load manager h**p://w**.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm getting great speeds out of it (before I was getting like 150KB/s now I'm getting like 1600KB/s) and it supports resumeing. I was about to pull my hair out IE9 was saying it would take over 12 hours... ahh lol
OMG! Windows 8 is sooo cool. Pretty awesome OS! Just need a way to get the classical start menu into desktop mode...otherwise im really enjoying this masterpiece... say good bye to apple!
