zip file download freezes after few seconds and fails afterwards and this happens everytime
I am trying to download a huge zip file(around 10GB). The download started normally and completed 50% of it. Then I paused and closed Firefox. When I resumed the download after some hours, it ran for few seconds and then got freezed.After some time also the download seemed freezed and ultimately showed that download has failed.
This freezing happens now every-time for it. Please help me with this. Also need to mention that the internet connectivity was good enough for the download when the problem occurred.

Some websites have the option to continue a download. ==some== Why did you close Firefox?
This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.
http://www.freedownloadmanager.org It is a powerful modern download accelerator and organizer for Windows and Mac.
You can try these steps to resume an unfinished download when you still have the .part file.
- Move the old .part partial download and the final file without the .part that has size 0 to another location.
- Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.
- Copy the two files (.part and 0 byte final) that you moved above back to the download location to replace the new files that were created.
- Resume the download in Firefox.
