When downloading a file, quitting brings up a "safari will not finish the download" box.

In the middle of a download? Pause the download (press on the "x" circle in downloads window), then you can quit safari/shutdown/reboot/whatever. Double-clicking on the ".download" file left by the incomplete download RESUMES from the previous session...

Note that if you just quit safari without stopping the download first double-clicking the "download" file just restarts the download...

Maybe I'm just a spaz and it's obvious to everyone else, but I thought it was cool...

I'm running Panther.7

OKAY OKAY DON'T TRY THIS i'm not sure but i may have just been imagining things -- can i delete this post maybe?

your not entirely incorrect, i've noticed it in other browsers (netscape to be precise). essentially what happens is that the browser overwrites the already downloaded file (since it downlaods as the same name) but when the browser notices that there is a whole chunk of data that is identical to the one its downloading, it thinks its already downloaded it and thus skips till the part that has not been downloaded...

just a thought
