      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.
