Saving Partial Downloads

[claymate31]

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
I am downloading a movie file...but only need about the first half or so. Is there any way to stop the download halfway through and just save that file to my hard drive?
Or does a file have to be completely finished before it can save?
I'd just go on and download the whole thing, but it's taking so long, that if I can just save the first half, it would help alot.
Thanks once again to anyone who can provide me with any assistance at all.

OK..I remembered this post and did an experiment...had to hunt the incomplete down, as it was in program files/BearShare/Temp...so if you want to do this, close down BearShare in the middle of the transfer, go to the above mentioned folder in windoze, and do what you want with the incomplete file..

Be careful you don't move the temp file or you'll corrupt it. You will have to start all over if you move it, it's always better to let it finish the download process first.

You can use avi preview to view a file that isn't completed yet, here is where you can download this program :
