Interesting. I tried to download Fedora, but only the first iso came through completely, the other three stopped somewhere close to the end of the download just before full download was reported in the download manager. I tried to pause and resume to see if this would make them go the last mile, but they stayed frozen. Therefore I have not burned the CD's, I did not expect that any success would come from an incomplete download.
I wouldn't expect them to work, either.
I downloaded in Mozilla Firefox, and as far as I know that should not be a problem.
I think the pause/resume feature that Firefox purports to offer does not work. I've never seen it resume a download, even on servers that I know support it. I don't know what it's supposed to do.
If you want a client that resumes, I think you'll need to look elsewhere. On Linux, there's the wget command line tool, at least. And if you're going to test pausing/resuming, do it on a much smaller file. One that doesn't waste lots of your time and bandwidth.
