.NET 3.5 Download Large Files

Question

Hi,

I want to allow users to download a large file - around 4GB. I'd like them to have the ability to resume failed downloads.

Can anyone make any recommendations on the best way to do this? Or are there any off the shelf components out there that ppl have had success with?

I'm using IIS7 to host the app.

I've seen a few approaches out there, but they're all quite old.

Cheers, David.
