Suggestion:Could you allow resuming interupted download

Dear stoptazmo,
I am a internet user far from USA in the Indian Ocean,and so download speed is rather slow compared to those in the US continent. Even with ADSL where I get download speeds varying from 1kb to 20kb (from foreign countries) I have the problem where downloads are often stopped after downloading 10% to 90% of a file. And I have to start again from zero. I get this problem 95% of the time when I download from your website.Even when I am getting my maximum download speed here, this problem still happens when trying to download from your server. some years ago(1999-2000), this problem did not exist even when using dial up connection. So could you please add this function allowing to resume a download from where it was stopped? I am also using another download site for mangas, mangadownload.net but they don`t have as many different mangas for download (around half), where I am donating regularly as I use there site often, where I can even use a download manager, they allow to download only two files at a time.Because of the incentives given there, where one can get additional mangas when donating at least once,and having the facility of using a download manager, they get donations of over US$1000 regularly. I have donated once to your site, but if this kind of service at your site remains I am not willing to continue making donations. You should try to find a solution to this problem, probably it is not the 1st time someone has mentioned this problem. So please find a way to solve this situation.

Thank you for your comments and feedback.

The only way you could resume downloads is if you used a download manager, and this is not something we support for free members. The reason for this is technical, as the URL would have to remain the same and that would allow people to leech our files, a quick google search can show you the kind of abuse we face.

If you signed up for a premium membership, the download link remains for 7 days and only costs $5/m, and this is the only solution we could offer you, due to technical constraints.
