1.(most probably)well, most probably you aint actually downloading at that
3mb/s anyways, its probably just running that through quickly from the
catch, are youmaybe running a proxy on your own machine or something?..
cause then what would happen the file would run into the proxy, and when
you cancel it'll end there, after that you try d/load it again but it just
retrieves it from your proxy at the speed, and it'll get the whole file
from the proxy (and the whole file in the proxy is all of what you
previously d/loaded untill you canceled)..
2. refer to 1. and see, you aint actually d/loading, rather just pulling it
out from th proxy.
3. (?)
