Shouldn't we have a "complete/append" function in the context menu?

Are you talking about on Fluther or where? I ‘m not sure what you mean.

Yeah…. I have no idea what you’re talking about. What, exactly, would such a function do, when and how would it be used?

A lot of download managers have the ability to resume a download, even after catastrophic failure. Free Download Manager is pretty good, though it tends to launch itself whenever you go to download something.

I meant to compare it to Copy and Paste in explorer which I’ll assume everyone is familiar with. If I have two files which have almost the exact same content I would like to be able to merge them and use a fraction of the saved space to tell the computer how to split the files (or read them) again. There’s a bunch of functions like this which are possible and could end up saving time and money, but microsoft doesn’t seem to care about that. Like I said: I use total commander instead of explorer but I’m still curious if there are better file managers out there.

@Nullo Any idea how to continue a download from a different url? I use flashgot but I never really figured out how to do anything like that.

<shrug> Never in my life have I had the thought “Gee, I really wish I could merge these two very similar files together without actually opening them and copy/pasting the contents!”.

You probably don’t have 5 HDDs then! Also opening corrupted or incomplete files is crazy annoying. I’m going to be angry until the world is as efficient as I think it should be.
