Abstract
System, method and program for managing download of a file. A current request to establish a session is received. In the session, there is a request to download the file beginning at a specified location after a start of the file. The current request does not specify a fixed length of the requested download. A length of the file to be downloaded is estimated based on prior requests to download the file beginning at other respective locations. In response to the current request, the estimated length of the file is downloaded beginning at the specified location. In response to downloading the estimated length of the file beginning at the specified location, the download of the file is suspended for a time window. If the session corresponding to the current request is not terminated within the time window, then download of the file is automatically resumed following the length in further response to the current request. If the session corresponding to the current request is terminated within the time window, then download of the file is not automatically resumed following the length in further response to the current request.
