About download file using ASIHttpRequest

Question

I plan to use ASIHttpRequest for downloading files from back-end server. Before actions, post questions here to know more about this feature.

As sample source codes given : ( demonstrate downloading remote JPG file )

    ASIHTTPRequest *request;
request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/tests/images/small-image.jpg"]];
[request setDownloadDestinationPath:[[NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"1.png"]];
[request setDownloadProgressDelegate:imageProgressIndicator1];
[networkQueue addOperation:request];

My questions are:

1. It can download any formats files, such as MP3, video file etc ? Any limitations, i,e, file size, time out ?

Seem like that just need set up the remote file path, "http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/tests/images/small-image.jpg", then it can download everything remotely with HTTP protocol.

1. How about the resume function ?

It provides setting for "RESUME" via YES/NO, is that enough for normal resume feature ? For example, if the file is big, pause it , then hope to resume it from last time.

Thanks for any inputs or comments, I need investigate this before adopting this into my project. Thanks in advance !

You posted this on the asi http request group at the same time, and got an answer there:

(If you're going to post your question in multiple places at the same time, it'd at least be polite to record the fact that you've already got an answer!)
