Fwiw, it looks to me like rtmpdump's resume is actually working fine, it's just printing the wrong percentage for its statistics.

E.g., let's say you got 80% of a file and then had to resume. It should say that it's resuming at 80% but it will say it's resuming at 0% instead. It will get to the end and report that only 20% was downloaded, because it's not taking the previous 80% into account in the stats. But actually the file is complete...
Here's the one I mentioned about stopping a download with "CTRL-C" and then resuming the file. What I did to get this result was to begin a download and stop it with "CTRL-C" at about 2%. Then I went back and tried to resume the same file download... What you see below is the result:

Code:
Main Menu
1. Select show(s) from a menu to add to the download list
2. View the list of shows that will be downloaded
3. Download the show(s) in the list
4. Clear the download list of shows to be downloaded
5. Refresh the show-selection menu cache
---------------------------------------------------------
9. Exit

The show "Good Game Series 6 Episode 25" was not found on the server.
Anyone else get similar results?

[edit: I used 2.2b here, but the same happens with 2.2d etc. The size of the un-resuming file is 2,949,120 bytes (around 2%)]
