Is resume just client/server support for byte serving requests? Pretty sure that was around with HTTP/1.1 in the late 90s, but my memory of it was client support in Netscape for downloads wasn’t really there, so most people probably never used it.
idk the technical specifics on it but standards were mostly loosely followed suggestions back then. i still run in to issues today with some downloads not even knowing the total size. i just remember being on dial up and hoping if i let it go all night i wouldn’t have to start anew in the morning.
GetRight ftw. I just googled it and it’s still a thing.
Now, burning CDs at 2x speed on windows 98 was a chore. Converting a whole disc with of mp3’s and not breathing on your computer for 40 minutes so it didn’t freeze and ruin an expensive CDR sucked.
real Gs used download managers to be able to resume later.
that wasn’t even a guarantee in my day. a lot of webservers didn’t support resume.

And concurrency. Pulling a mean 30k/s on that v90 modem.

wow, it even looks almost exactly like it did back then!
I use Filezilla these days.
