Any chance the RiffTrax server could support broken or interrupted downloads?  I'm having a difficult time with the short One Got Fat.

I'm not sure what that would entail, to be honest. I will look into it, because I can see how it would come in handy.

Since we don't have the 3 downloads and your out rule any more you can use a download manager on your end. Pretty much all of them have resume features.

It's more complicated than that. I did some research and it's definitely doable... but it'll require some changes to the core File Downloads functionality. I'll be looking at it over our three-day weekend and if it's easy enough to patch, I will give it a shot.

I'll post back here with updates.

Very cool that you are looking into it.  Thanks!

It's almost a necessity at this point, especially if we plan on continuing to do more Video on Demand type content... unless we start streaming it from a media server, or something. But if we're providing these large downloads it'll help to have something like that in place.
