Resuming links across file hosts - Mediafire and Fileserve
I know this sounds like a weird question, probably is, but I am desperate.
I was downloading a file using Fileserve in Firefox. It is a 1GB file and it stopped downloading a few MBs away from completion. I am not on one of those unlimited download plans, I have to pay per MB. So re-downloading the file will cost me greatly.
There is a copy of the same file on Mediafire, and since Mediafire supports resuming downloads, I was wondering if there is a way by which I can make Mediafire believe it is resuming a download, and finish the few remaining MBs that way.
I am downloading using Firefox and so the unfinished file is saved with extension .part.

Something like this?

That was the 15 seconds of research I was willing to put it, I did this to find it:

Find a Premium Fileserve cookie somewhere and use it. You should then be logged in as a Premium user, and they're allowed to resume downloads.

@mjmacky: thanks a lot...that worked. And thanks for putting in the search string also. I would never have dreamed of putting the word 'http' in there. Guess the right keywords do matter. :)

Gotta filter it by protocol, so many protocols...
