If you don't get that result there are only 3 possiblities
  1) Defective http server, does not support resume
  2) Defective FTP server, does not support resume, IMS, etc or you are
     using the http.us rotation with ftp.
  3) The file changed on the server 

I can't da anything about any of those things.
