Beta Testers Needed (Simple Five Minute Test)
I need a few of yous guys who have Firefox or a download manager such as GetRight to test the resumable download script on my server. I can't test it myself, as explained in the test instructions. All of the downloadable files are freeware as obtained from the original publishers - no spyware or funny business. Thanks in advance.

Oh, just thought of something. You can post the results here if you don't want to give up your e-mail address.

Ok. I tried it with Firefox. I started the download of the Divx player (your site didn't send the total file size so there was no percentage indicator), paused it a second after, and tried resuming. No go. I stopped it and tried restarting it and it did not start again. Now I tried your website again and it's timing out.

Okay. I just disabled page caching and added a Content-length header to the initial response.

I tried it too, but I don't have a "pause" and "resume" button. I have "Cancel" and "Retry". When I used those, I did receive a functional program. But I don't think it's a fair test of what you asked for. The download started over from the beginning.
