Copying a file with konqueror always overwrite a previously half-copied file.

Bug Description

Kubuntu Gutsy updated today (11 Oct 2007).

1) Start downloading a file with konqueror. It will create something like 'file.part' and it will add data to it.
2) The download breaks for any reason.
3) Start again the same download: konqueror asks if you want to 'Overwrite' or 'Recover' the partially already downloaded file.

Whatever you choose: the download will start from the beginning.

Good afternoon,

Are you still having problems w/ Konqueror always overwriting a file instead of resuming? I am currently not having the problem on Intrepid or Hardy. I am wondering if you are still having problems with this bug?

If so could you please update this bug with the current version of Kubuntu you are using along with the current version of KDE you are using?
Thanks,

Jonathan

Hello!

meanwhile I don't use anymore konqueror to copy files in that way because I
feel it's unreliable.

I tried again this morning (Kubuntu Hardy 8.04, KDE/Konqueror 3.5.10) and it
doesn't ask anymore for the two options.
Now it only asks if you want to overwrite the partial file or not and if you
say 'yes, overwrite it' it seems like it has a sort of check of the file to
try to save already copied part.

It seems to be working but I can't say/judge if it's working correctly or not.

Thank you for your interest.

Moreno
