Won't resume download from TiVo but HTTP response seems ok
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2009 2:19 pm
I am using FDM 3.0 build 848 on Windows Vista 32-bit SP1
I am trying to test the ability for it to resume a failed download. The HTTP response from the TiVo seems to indicate that it supports the resume, but FDM does not accept this and restarts from the beginning.
Noteworthy download settings:
- username and password required
- the TiVo does NOT support "query size" (perhaps this is the culprit) but includes a custom HTTP response header that is similar called TiVo-Estimated-Length
- I am allowing only 1 simultaneous connection to server so I've set max sections to 1
- using HTTP 1.1, cookies, and FDM's user agent
- i have disabled rollback on broken connections
The resume works fine if I use TiVo's normal download client software (TiVo Desktop) instead of FDM
Here is the log:
