Opera NEVER saves my transfer history for some reason, thanks for the tip! You saved me from redownloading 2.5 GBs.

It was quite funny to find my tip from the desktopteam blog in my feeds. The best thing is, that i actually never tested that tip myself! I just guessed, that it should work this way.

Nice.

A related tip would be to resume an interrupted page load with Tools>Advanced>Reload from cache (Alt, T, A, R) rather than Refresh (F5). Much faster, in case just some elements on the page haven’t finished loading.

Great tip, thanks! Had this happen to me a couple of times.

One minor thing: why the “?” in the title? It’s not a question, and even if it was it was badly formed :S

Nice tip. Thanks!
I thought I should work (around) this way, but never tried actually.

Just checked if I use the downloader much – about 10 (all complete – mainly pdfs + a few distros) sat on there!

Never had a problem with stopping and starting downloads in Opera, but if I do…………….

Ah, thanks, worth a try perhaps (my large d/ls tend to be distros of Linuux, so…!).
Hadn’t risked it for a couple of years. With Star I can, if the d/l slows, stop it and resume at a quieter time.
hadn’t realised that Opera could resume after turning off and on.

@Peter
Opera is capable of resuming transfers. Sometimes s**t happens, though.

OK, very useful (I use Star Downloader for >100MB), but why not just make Opera’s d/l ‘manager’ (such as it is) capable of resuming transfers, as this would address at least the second point?
There are several free d/l managers (I chose Star because it’s simple), so surely there can’t be any great barrier to Opera doing this.
