    Angry iTunes downloads not resuming

    Hey Guys,

    I have an issue with my iTunes (well at least I think it's an issue) where if I'm downloading a podcast or video or app or something and it stops for any reason, if I try to resume it it just starts at the beginning of the download. I only have a 5GB limit and I've just wasted 1GB of it trying to download the 07' keynote as it got to 950MB (of 1.2GB) before my modem disconnected, and when I reconnected and tried to resume it started from the beginning!

    Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix for it?

    I've also found that the keynote podcasts will often re-download rather than resuming.

    And it also seems to really be that stream only as well that has the issue.

    Might be from Apple's side.

    It seems to depend on the server you are downloading from whether they allow resumes or not. I find that nearly all podcasts will restart if they are stopped but most of the actual iTMS content will resume.

    Cool. Thanks for you're inputs. Looks like I'll have to wait until I get broadband set up at home.
