Resuming downloading files

If you are downloading a file, you can click the icon next to the file's name in the Downloads window to pause the download. After you stop downloading a file, you can resume downloading it from where it stopped.

For example, if you stop after downloading 50 MB of a 100 MB file, when you resume downloading the file you only have 50 MB left to download.

Note: Some servers do not support resumable downloads.

To resume downloading a file, click the arrow next to file's name in the Downloads window. Safari continues downloading the file from where you stopped it.

If you decide you do not want to finish downloading the file, click Clear to remove items from the Downloads window and delete the file in the Finder.
