How To Resume Download in Mozilla Firefox After Our Computer Shutted Off Suddenly


Sometime, when we were downloading something using Firefox, because of electricity and another unknown causes, our computer was suddenly shutted off and our download was also stopped. It is OK if the file size of the download is small, but how does if the file size is big (1 GB maybe) and we have done download 600 MB size ? Oh My God that must be crazy -_- And so what to do ?

Hey don't be mad, happily I've found the solution. Here are the solution :

  1. Turn on your computer

  2. DON'T EVER RUN FIREFOX or YOU WILL LOSE YOUR FILE

  3. Go to Download folder

  4. You will find two files that you are downloading

    For example : Video.mp4 and Video.mp4.part

  5. Copy the file Video.mp4.part to another place whatever you like (e.g. Desktop)

  6. Now, open Firefox and open Downloads dialog box.

  7. Our previous unfinished download process will be resumed FROM ZERO :D

  8. Pause the download.

  9. Go to Download folder and now you will find only one new file Video.mp4, delete it and replace it with the the previous backed up file Video.mp4.part that we stored at Desktop. Rename it as Video.mp4

  10. Go to the Firefox Download dialog, and resume the Download.

  11. Now, you will see, the Download will be resumed from last Download that we have reached before our computer shutted down suddenly (hurrayy!).

That's it, hope it will be useful for you. Happy penguin forever ^_^

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners.  But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine  Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...
