I don't know if I am the first or the last person to discover how to do this.

Assuming you run Windows, - are you able to start a download
and later stop it and turn off your computer for the night -
then the next day either resume your download or resume some
other partially completed download?

I can do that. I use a free program called TrueDownloader that
lets me do that. There are other programs, but I am not familiar
with them.

It doesn't actually speed up the download, it just provides you
with more flexibility.

Thanks stewjack, that's interesting... might help me get over what I call "the Cat Problem". I usually set a large file downloading when I head off to bed, and then turn the PC off when I get up... but a few times I've got up to find a certain white moggy sprawled out on my keyboard, snoring her head off, and the download mysteriously halted before it was finished...

<---- the culprit...

"the Cat Problem"

I laso have a "Cat Problem"

Today it started at 5:00AM when he discovered how to get the voice mail on my land line phone to play back on speaker. Repeatedly.
He's more work than either of my kids ever were.
