Are you trying to download the file via HTTP or FTP? (obviously you're
using V, but did the file start http://blah or ftp://blah?
I know the problem you are saying, I have seen it myself, but it *may* not
be a fault with Voyager. If you are downloading via HTTP, there could be
two reasons why the resume is not working:
1. Voyager does not support HTTP resume (quite possible, but since there
is a resume function there, one would ASSUME it does).
2. The server you are downloading from does not support HTTP resume (this
is quite common, many web servers do not).
If you are downloading via FTP then again it could be either of the above
things except that FTP resume is more well established so most servers
support it. Whether V does I can't confirm.

Use the unregistered AmFTP until the programmers release a new version of
mFTP...
