How To: Resume Failed Downloads?

Downloading a 1GB file on a Ultra Slow network....
*10% Complete...*
*58% Complete...*
*99% Complete...*

*BANG! Download failed due to connection error!*

At least once in a lifetime, you would have experienced this! If your tired constantly trolled by "DOWNLOAD FAILED!!" messages, Rejoice now! the failed downloads can be resumed right from the point where it failed! Just follow the below steps:

Step 1: Navigate to the folder that contains the un- finished file.
Step 2: Backup the file to another folder. (Don't copy, just move!)
Step 3: Now, search for the same file that previously failed to download.(Trust me, we are going to resume it!) The file name should match the un- finished file or else rename the unfinished file.
Step 4: Click Download button (Trust me again!) and let the download run for 10 to 20 kb.
Step 5: Now, Pause the download. Navigate to the currently downloading folder and replace the currently downloading file with the unfinished file.
Step 6: Now click the resume button.

Viola! Your download should resume where it failed! Although this does not work for all browsers, It works on majority of browsers. I've tried this trick on Firefox for Windows and Opera Mini for Android.
