I've tried downloading files, particularly through the night, only to find the next morning that "Connection was terminated by the remote host" and the files have only partially downloaded. This isn't an exclusive night-time problem, but the bugbear is that the files are effectively lost as when I try to re-start them nothing happens. Ever.

Why is there no facility to resume downloads?

Way more info needed: browser, file sizes, file types, web addresses, the computer and OS you are using, etc.

If you're torrenting, well, that's a whole other issue. I'm assuming normal web downloads.
