how to track file/software download

[khushbu shah]

Hi,

C#, asp.net 2.0, sql server 2005

In my web appliction we have link which allows user to download softwares( approx size 800 mb).

suppose if user starts downloading and then he stops downloading after 100 MB. and he would like to resume downloading later , so how can we track how much it was completed and from where we have to start downloading again so as to download in number of steps.
Please suggest a solution

Thanks in advance

I admire your sense of optimism, but are you able to zip it or offer it on a disk? If there is one file they can't start downloading again later.

You are trying to make a download manager.

To do this requires some kind of client side application, usually written in Java, maybe Flash. You can't do it with server side code only.
