Here's an example of a link that wont resume if you have accidentally quit the application.

http://www.maxtor.com/portal/site/Ma...splayEULA=true

Looks like you need to click on 'accept' at page bottom to start the DL.

I could understand not being able to resume if there's a technical limitation in regards to that particular circumstance... Please note the resume also DOES NOT work as expected in normal circumstances using this link either (ie - without a quit being involved). It's like some sort of timeout is involved. When a significant amount of time has passed, the resume feature ceases to function.... and it appears to begin the download from scratch... just like if you quit and tried it. By significant, I left it alone for 5 minutes, it may take less time to stop functioning as expected.

In any case..... please put a selectable warning inside 'download preferences', so that you can choose to have omniweb bug you that a download(s) cannot be resumed after a quit (or simply that a download is in progress if you can get your proposed fix to work). You should not be able to quit unless you click OK on the warning (or alternatively you can click cancel to NOT quit....)

It has to be said, your response is why people love omniweb and stick with this application. A software developer that actually listens to the users, who would have thought :D
