How do i use Opera to resume download for a-m-v.org?

about 99.9 % of the time i click on stop and then resume, opera just gives me a 90kb version of the file i was downloading. It fails to resume and does not seem to save the large amount of data it did have.
how do i get to to pause and resume properly!?

has a-m-v.org changed it so no sort of download manager will work!?

You need to make sure that you are still logged in. If you havent got an up-to-date session cookie then it will not let you download the file.

You go to your members main page in whatever program you are downloading with, once you are there you know you are resumed and then you can (hopefully) resume your download.

ok, i made the explorer in the Opera to "remember password" so it logs me in automaticly. will that work? is that what you mean?

That's not enough because the cookie times out. You need to make sure you have visited the members main page BEFORE you click resume.

ok, ill do that.
i have 3 hours more to wait.. maybe 4...

i might have to pause it soon too.. so we will see if the 20 mb i did get is lost or can be resumed...

im also having some heartburn along with the "madness"...

Are you sure?

If what he's saying is what I think it is, it should be fine. Anon, you checked to make sure that whenever you visit this page, you are automatically logged in, correct? Then, after you make sure that the member's page loads, you tried to resume the d/l?

I have that box checked so that I'm always logged in, unless I log in using a different browser or on a different computer (in which case I have to log in again using Opera on my comp), and I never have troubles resuming downloads anymore.

And my point is that I've never had to go to the member's page before I tried to download or resume something.

before i never logged in before i resumed.

i didnt do that to opera or never thought of it because im afraid its like a password stealer or maybe a dialer or something....but i have no choise.. i want this AMV!!!

for the love of heckioni man... this is my 4th try...

my 2nd was at 96% when my isp dropped me and i couldnt resume.... it failed and it said something about contact admin blah blah....
