Does this make sense? According to the code, this is not a clear resume, but the client skips just the portion it has already received. But in each case you re-read the file from the beginning. So if you're connection is interrupted after transferring n GB, you got the retransmit them all in each case, just the client picks the the bytes it needs from that big piece already retransferred. This doesn't save neither time nor bandwith. Am I wrong here?
IMHO, the only approach of resuming a download can be initiated by the server, by giving it the start position in the target file it should start sending at.

@Amit: I only wanted to give credit where it was due. I had code before seeing this link, but it wasn't working like I wanted. What I have now is a derivative of the code found there.
