I have been using the DownLoader that came with SM 1.1 and it usually

I was just downloading a 17 MB file on my slower than a snail dial-up
when I got "disconnected" at about 11 MB downloaded (an hour or more
of downloading!)
When I tried to go back and start downloading again, the SM Downloader
now wants to start all over again !
yup, thats typical
The partially downloaded file is labeled "filename.exe.part" and is
~11 MB in size.
Why won't it pick up where it left off ? I picked the .part file to
resume...
Can I somehow force it to "resume" ?
nope, thats one of the downsides of SM downloader, you can't restart
where you left off.
If not, I have another downloader (WinGet 1.9) which is SUPPOSED to
resume disconnected downloads and even splits up the connections to
speed up downloading.
Question 1. Can I force SM 1.1's Downloader to resume?
if not....
I put a dll from WinGet into SM 1.1's plugin folder as required, but
WinGet doesn't take over as specified;
"WinGet can automatically intercept Netscape's default download
dialog. To enable integration with Netscape, copy the file WinNP.dll
from the WinGet installation folder to Netscape plug-ins folder and
rename it to NPWinGet.dll."
Question 2. How can I make SM 1.1 use WinGet
it should
and not it's own downLoader? SM 1.1's plugins are named npname.dll,
but is more needed to be done?
I might be wrong here, but I think winget monitors the clipboard. So
you need to copy the download link, and when winget sees the download
link in the clipboard, then it'll start the download.
Question 3. Can I set SM 1.1 up to give me a choice in the Tools
Toolbar?
No
why did my message take over 8 hours to show up? If
things were working, then my posting should have been
second. But it wasn't. Instead, if my calculations
are correct, its over 12 hours later, sometime after
Roberts. It showed up on google groups within minutes
of posting it, but not on the mozilla server. As a
matter of fact, others were able to post here and reply
immediately, but not mine. So, who's screwing around
with what?
WARNING: replying to this message will have it sent to
