How to resume interrupted downloads in iTunes U

[karuturi]

I am downloading some free tutorial videos from the iTunes store each of which is around 700MB. I am on slow internet connection and whenever the download fails, if i start it again it starts from 0 Bytes instead of resuming from the point it stopped.

Is there a way by which I can resume the downloads using iTunes or any other application??

I am using Mac OS X 10.6.4
and iTunes 10.0.1

I have the same problem too when my Mac crashes, then all my queue disappears and I have to add it again.

Apple in more interested in having good User experience rather than adding features (like MS)

Same problem. It's annoying. One download got so slow I hit "pause" to check on a connection, and when I hit resume, it started from zero again! I thought "pause" was just that - but it should really be called "abandon download."

Yes you can - click on "Copy iTunes U URL", then use something like wget to get that url
Open the resultant file, and you will find a whole lot of URLs in it, with the relevant episodes. (in my case ending in .mp4)
Then use "wget -c" to get the episodes by each url, and it support resume perfectly.... (unless the server doesn't)

Using this method, I have been successfully resuming Stanford iPhone Dev Lectures, which iTunes kept on doing from the beginning...

iTunes.... when it works, it's great... when it doesn't... hmmmmmm
