Could I get technical information on how exactly these functionalities work? If you could provide enough details to enable writing a stand-alone program to download stuff from internet with pause and resume functionalities, it would be of great help.

Open the download window <Control> J. Right click on the file in question and select pause. Warning ! ! Sometimes the resume does not work on some web sites.
