Mark Proctor commented on JBRULES-460:
--------------------------------------

our downloads currently come from subversion, we are moving them to the downloads.jboss.com, so hopefully that should resolve the issue.

> Hi Guys
> In my part of the world (South Africa) we still get dropped connections and here a 128kbps connection counts as broadband. It is extremely &*^&^$%#$ annoying if I lose a connection while trying to download a 23MB file (JBoss Rules 3.0.4 binary with deps) and I have to start from the beginning because your ftp server does not allow "resume". (I've already made 3 attempts today)
> PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change it. Other parts of JBoss do allow it so why not you?
> I'm not sure why you disallow it. Maybe you think that people multiplexing a download over multiple connections (with DAP) put too much load on the server?
> Think about it: you are actually increasing the load by not allowing it, because someone like me have to make multiple attempts at downloading something before succeeding. If I have to try 3 times and come close to succeeding the first two times, it is effectively the same as three people downloading the same software. Allow resume and I'll succeed sooner and go away sooner.
> Again, PUHHLEASSEEE!
> Regards
