Firefox 3 the upcoming version of the popular Firefox web browser would include a new revamped Download manager that would allow us to download and resume downloads across multiple sessions. Till date no Browser’s Download Manager supports Resume over multiple sessions.
So when the next Firefox comes out we will be able to download and resume files even after closing the browser. With the latest Alpha build the feature has already been implemented but the Interface design is still in works. Because of the Resume Support works we will need to tell the user if Resume is supported or not, simply because not all servers support Resume.
Right now the interface is still being tweaked. I would rather have a full screen download manager that gives extra space so that Firefox is able to add all the tiny details onto the Download Manager. On a related note you can also the Source URL of the file being downloaded.
