I have a problem which I could really do with some help with please
I am using NSURLconnection to download a large file (27MB). the code work fine when there is no network interruption. In order to allow for network issues and only partially downloaded file I have added code to check to see how much of the file is downloaded and then using a server request to download the missing portion.
The code works as it should IF I download part of file, stop the program running and then run again - the download then commences where it left off and i have complete file.
However if I hit the download button a second time without stopping the program then didReceiveData only gets called once and adds just 200KB to the file and it tells me file has been succesfully downloaded.
Help please - I have spent ages trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
