Hey guys, I'm trying to get the 1.3 update downloaded, but I have crappy internet and downloaded it from Google Chrome. ~6 hours into the download, the browser crashed, killing the download at 5.5GB/6.7 GB. I REALLY dont want to have to download for another 6 hours to get back to where I was, and I heard about multiple ways you can use the .crdownload file chrome spits out for aborted downloads to resume where you left off. After trying for 2 hours to restart it through Wget and Mozilla, I'm ready to pull my hair out.

The Mozilla method of changing the .crdownload to a .part shown here (Resume A Failed Chrome Download From Where It Left Off [Tutorial]) seems really plausible, but everytime I do what it says and substitute the files, the download just starts off at the start instead of where I left off.

I'm at my wits end because I'm introducing someone to PR and theyre going to be on soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Heres what Ive been doing:

1: copying download link from chrome and putting it into mozilla
2: starting download, then pausing it.
3: taking the prbf2 1.3 whatever.iso.crdownload and changing it to a .part instead of a crdownload.
4: right clicking on the download bar and going to the "open containing file" option to find where its downloading it.
5: then I delete what its been downloading and replace it with the .part
6. When i resume the download, it starts from 0KB, completely ignoring the .part I inserted.

I don't know any way to do that "inside of Chrome" for our situation where it's one large .iso file being downloaded.




You can use firefox to resume the download using this method:

MY long time download manager when I had slower internet was DownThemAll! for firefox (seriously an amazing addon):

I hate to suggest it, but it doesnt look like you read my whole post. I wrote that I tried the exact method you posted, as well as the steps I took during that process. I'll go try it again I guess. I will, however consider downloading that attachment, so thanks for the help. Have you tried the Chrome to Mozilla trick yourself? If so, can you tell me where I'm going wrong?

The torrent has worked flawlessly for me twice now.
