| As far as I know, it's not possible to pause a downloading file in a web browser, close the browser, re-open and resume the download, which means you have to have the browser running for quite a while, and if the download screws up, usually you have to start again. Not the best thing if the file's at least 500MB, especially with my internet.
Is there a program that allows you to download files from websites, and pause and resume them in much the same way that Steam does? Otherwise I'd have to leave the computer running for at least a day. Damn you, Aussienet. | |

| Well there's MegaUpload but you need to pay so screw that.
How about Torrent? :c
Or how about a faster internet. :3 | |

| I thought you could only download torrent files with a torrent program. | |

| Yeah. With torrents, you can pause, cancel, and a lot more whenever you feel like downloading them.  | |

| I always use Chrome. You can pause, but if you quit Chrome it cancels the download. | |
