I'm currently using SeaMonkey 2.26.1 under WinXP Pro SP3.
What can I do *WITHOUT* moving to a later release?
TIA
Switch to Firefox.
Not acceptable. I am a suite user since Netscape days. I
considered it back around FF 3.5.? days and found it broken
- it thought it should always be online. That made it DOA.
IIRC there were other problems and no advantages.
I asked on a SeaMonkey list and specified using SeaMonkey.
Firefox is broken. Isn't all software?
SeaMonkey answer.
When I start a download using SeaMonkey 2.33.1 it opens the
Download Manager, the download stops if I click the pause button,
resumes when I click the start button.
That works fine in 2.26.1 .
I can also quit SeaMonkey and resume the download upon opening it
again.
Should work the same in 2.26.1.
That's not quite my case of interest. My focus is link failure
while transfer in process. At home I'm on dialup. High speed
access is via occasionally flaky wifi hotspot at local library.
I found two sub-classes:
1. link failure while paused - no problem.
2. link failure while transferring - it will restart at *VERY*
beginning of file.
Have you tried Safe Mode? Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
I've never installed any Add-ons or Plugins, even in Netscape days.
Thank you.
