In the UK, ISPs who provide a fixed fee "anytime" deal for modem users
tend to sever the connection whenever the user has spent two hours online.
It's no problem reconnecting immediately, of course - but being cut off is
bad news if one is part-way through a download at the time. I failed to
get a kernel source package recently, because I was disconnected just 3
minutes short of the required time :(

So the auto-resume suggestion is an essential feature from my point of
view. It would save me much anxiety as I watch the transfer rate
fluctuating. It could also mean I don't have to wait for stuff appearing
on magazine cover cd's. It could even mean that UK people are less likely
to consider MDK impractical unless they have broadband.
