Topic: Where do downloaded files go if I cancel them mid-download?

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #9,015

Specifically videos. I was downloading a 3GB video, but it was taking forever so I cancelled it at around 1.1GB.

I've done this on different occasions and noticed the download starts around where I cancelled it last time, so it must be somewhere.

Where exactly does it go when I cancel the download? I'm using Google Chrome, BTW.

It starts as a .part file and grows while downloading it. If you cancel the download, the downloaded progress is deleted.

Probably in temporary internet files, which is why it's important to do a disk cleanup every once in a while.

Depends on the behavior of the file while growing.
If it was good, it goes to heaven, if it was bad, it'll be burned in hell (onto bluray and HD-DVD)

This.

It deletes if you hit cancel, it stays if the internet connection shits out IIRC

Everyone in this thread is helping to4str consolidate his hard drive space so he can stuff it with quicker downloading child porn.
