That's in rare case. When power fails, dap usually doest save the file info and hence lost. I don't think much can be done.

^^^ Ignore those lines, thought u r using dap.

Oh, don't u use dap?

So why dont u use download accelerators....

jmit, in dl accelerators, they write the downloaded file parts every now and then periodically. say every 200 KB, then for every 200 KB a disk write action is performed. and the status is stored so that when u stop this and resume it later it starts from that point... however in browsers, they dont seem to hav done those... may be this helps u understand a bit further???

Well, if you use Opera's builtin basic download manager, it will automatically resume downloads... Also, in case of power failures, you can automatically start with the sites which you were visiting...
