Pause and cancel no suppose mean the same thing. Flux keep paused task state so you fit continue that task. Data wey don reach disk and data wey the server allow you request again na different things. This explain why network traffic fit repeat while saved progress remain.
Continue the existing task
Select the paused task and press Resume. Adding the URL as a new task create another download. Keep working files and destination available. Moving or deleting checkpoint data fit prevent normal continuation or force another verification.
When Range requests work
HTTP Range allow Flux request a specific byte interval. The engine checks returned ranges and verifies checkpoints before combining stored and fresh data. Strong ETag no be the only resume method; 2.5 fit verify the saved prefix when that validator no dey.
When direct resume no work
For non-Range sources, Flux fit receive the saved prefix again, verify am and discard repeated bytes before appending new data. This use time and bandwidth. If the remote file change, blindly joining old and new bytes fit damage the result.
Test am properly
Start a stable file and wait for data to reach disk. Pause and note the amount. Resume the same task and watch status and traffic. If the source expire or change, solve that cause instead of creating duplicate tasks.
