You may want to rewrite a bit of DownloaderFoV_FoV_ENUS_ENUK.exe so it can resume a download.

I have downloaded the 2GB files setup-1.bin and setup-2.bin, and half of the third one. I then had to shut down the PC for some time. I restart the download and it is restarting from the beginning at setup-1.bin. Not cool, we are in 2010, the "resume download" option is standard for like 20 years wink.

It is actually worse than a server not allowing to resume a download, it wouldn't be that bad if only the last file was re-downloaded from the start. As it is, the downloader doesn't even see that two file are completely done already. I am rather far from the phone central, my bandwidth is not that good, and a full DL takes me around 6:45 hours, plus it also increases your bandwidth costs.

We actually did add resume functionality yesterday, so it could be that you just missed it (or soemthing else is wrong that I'm not aware off yet)

Maybe you added it to the server, but definitely not to the downloader that I have. My DownloaderFoV_FoV_ENUS_ENUK.exe is 340.293 bytes long, version 0.0.0.0, downloaded at 16:04 GMT on the 5th. It didn't even try to check the contents of the other files as many other downloaders do, as soon as I relaunched it, it started downloading setup.exe and setup-1.bin from the start.

I haven't checked this myself yet but the downloader should be updated now.
