<i>Steponas Kazakevicius</i> has written up <a href="http://itworks.lt/blog/2010/09/interruptable-file-download/">a new tutorial</a> about file downloading and, more specifically, making an download tool that can handle interruptions in mid-stream (elegantly).
</p>
<blockquote>
Have you ever been to a website that offers downloads of stuff? And while you are waiting for the download, there are lots of ads around? Sure you have. I have too. The last day I was downloading stuff. An idea came to my head. Was there a site which required to stay and watch the ads while you are downloading? Didn't see one. Is that technically possible? Sure. I wanted to show how. So I made a small web app for that.

<p>
His application (live <a href="http://itworks.lt/code/adviewdownload/">demo</a> or <a href="http://itworks.lt/code/adviewdownload/adviewdownload_v1.zip">download</a> available) submits the user upload in the background so that, if the user decides to cancel it, they can at any time and move on immediately.
