2. How does resume in FTP work?
   Most FTP-servers support "REST nnn" command. When client passes this command to server, server sends file from the specified position. Most known server with no broken downloads resume is Microsoft IIS. To be correct, it supports "REST nnn" but requires nnn to be equal 0.
   
   
3. How does resume in HTTP work?
   The special field ("Range: bytes nnn-") have to be supplied in the file request form. If WWW-server supports resume, it returns code 206 and specified part of the file. If it doesn't, it returns the whole file (as in regular request).
   
   
4. Can ReGet Pro download from online files storages (like idrive.com, visto.com, etc.)?
   Many of free web-disk-space sites are not completely compatible with download managers. But we try to improve this compatibility. You can download from most of online storages by doing a few additional steps: www.idrive.com: Make your folder shared to download from it with ReGet Pro or use HTTPS add-on to ReGet Pro. www.visto.com: We didn't notice any problems with downloading by ReGet Pro.
   
   
5. Why isn't the file size displayed when downloading files from FTP via Microsoft Proxy Server?
   MS Proxy doesn't provide sizes of files from FTP. It isn't ReGet bug, it's a bug of MS Proxy. Also, as ReGet is not aware of actual file size, it cannot determine the connection breaks. So, if MS Proxy broke connection, for ReGet it would look like successful download.
