Believe me, Its a big time and (precious) bandwidth waster! I've seen it get to 99% downloaded then declared a file size mismatch and fetch as used, doesn't employ the resume feature so whatever was downloaded last time isn't used the next even if only 2 minutes prior. partial downloads are not cached.

Then chunks / resume download or "continue" feature like in wget would
