Absolutely not. This isn't the Zmodem days you are stuck in,
dipshit.

TCP/IP governs the packets. The DOWNLOAD manager governs the
partial file resume process. They use running checksums ALL THE TIME.
That is how they begin feeding the remainder of a file. The sender
starts at the correct location of the file, and begins sending again.
It has NOTHING to do with the comm link standard being used.

You really prove again how lost you are acting like the rest world
is stuck in the bad old modem days... like you are.

IDE drives come two per channel. One drive's controller becomes the
master, and the other gets slaved to it. The connection to the
computer main board come by way of an IDE I/O interface. The
controller is on the drive, right on the parallel bus of the cable,
just like it should be.

You cannot possibly think for a moment that ANYONE here is going to
place ANY credence in ANYTHING you say after seeing here that you know
NOTHING about how things are done today.

Bwuahahahahahah!

So, you have no clue as to why logical block addressing was even
introduced?

You scream "knows nothing" with your every post!

Tell us... how many times, while you were "at the library" did you
ever visit the "wikipedea" page? Your answer will be quite revealing.

You're an idiot. No matter where a file is located on a volume, it
can be copied 100% whether it contains errors or not. It can be spread
out over hundreds of locations on the drive.

Just how do you think someone downloading a file can also perform
other multi-tasking routines that involve writes to the same volume?

The downloaded file WILL be fragmented as it relates to it's
location on the drive.

As if a zero progress twit could ever assess someone else's progress
in a realm in which you are clearly several decades behind even the
most unskilled lay person. There are gang boy retards with their pants
down past their asscrack on the bus that know more about it than you
do. That is truly sad.
