Continue disconnected download

In case you are downloading using P2P file sharing platform such as uTorrent, then you can choose the option to Autoshutdown. I personally love using my Macbook because of the speed at which the laptop resumes even if my system was in sleep mode.

NoSleep helps keep downloads going even when the lid of your laptop is closed and you do not even have to connect a mouse or a monitor to keep the system awake. The best part about NoSleep is that it is free but the developer runs on donations so you can consider making a donation if you liked the app.

The app can be installed without any issues but the user will have to accept the terms and conditions of the app which can trigger few warnings. Many people are using InsomniaX without any issues and the app does not have support, instructions, or even an interface.

The third app to help keep your Mac Downloads running after closing the lid is an app called Amphetamine. All of these three apps are fairly straightforward and once you install you should be able to keep downloads going while the lid of your Apple laptop is closed. When using any of these apps, ensure that you do not forget this feature and drop the laptop in a backpack like before. This can result in your Apple laptop overheating and even draining the battery completely has happened with me.

The next way to keep downloads continue after your Mac goes to sleep is by connecting another monitor. After you have connected the external monitor, you can close the lid of your laptop and the Mac display will be switched to the external monitor which you can switch off.

When your computer enters sleep mode all non critical functions of your computer is switched off and only the memory will be running—that too on minimal power. Yes, because when you enable download in sleep mode, no other program on the system will be consuming bandwidth.

Here is how you can keep downloads going when your computer is in sleep mode. See figure below: When the Properties Window appears, block the download "Address" tab which is already expired and delete it. Now open your browser and go the download address to get a new fresh download link from the same file you wish to resume, right click and "copy link address". But be sure to clear your browser cookies and cache before you get to this step.

Now you have a fresh download link which is the same file with the unfinished one , simply right click and choose "Resume Download". By doing this trick you don't need to restart download from the very beginning, but you can resume the download process without loosing the downloaded part of your files as well as your time.

You can do this for Enterupload too, just get the new fresh download link and follow the same steps. No more worry about expired links, as long as the files are still on the server, you can do this whenever you want even it has passed a month. Want to increase your download speed? Aren't there programs out there that allow to resume a download like this? Yeah, there are numerous download managers. Just pick one ;. Now, is there anyway to resume the download that i lost last night?

Is the data somehow stored in my temp directory or something so i can just resume the download or do i just have to restart it all over again I did a search and couldn't find any remains of the previous download that got cut off so i just started a new one.

I opened IE and downloaded like usual. Then opened the manager and it has the download listed. So if i get cut off this time i will be able to click resume on the manager Search In.
