What does everybody think about the idea of having simple Pause/resume 
functionality for KIO windows?  This was filed as a wishlist awhile ago but 
it was closed under the rationale of "KGet supports this." The problem is 
that KGet is a bloated solution for many users, and it only integrates with 
Konqueror.  As you well know, KIO functionality is not limited to Konqueror; 
it may be used in practically any application. The pause/resume feature is 
needed because, among other reasons, many people do not have persistant 
network connectivity. Just a thought.

Another cool feature would be to keep a central database of failed, 
exclusively-requested downloads so that e.g. a download could be resumed just 
by right clicking on the .part file.
