First, I had trouble downloading one of the sample programs. It stopped 90%
into the download. I was hoping that a restart would pick up where it left off
(as is the case for some programs). Unfortunately, this was not the case. Can it
be designed to do this? Would definitely be more user friendly.

java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)

java web start should be able to resume an interrupted download. i'm talking of the download
of an application designed for web start, not the web start itself. If the network connection is
slow (dialup modem users?) it may happen to lost the connection, so one should redownload
all the entire application from the beginning. I'd like to restart an interrupted download even
after a day, for example. not just in the same web start session.
