flashplugin-installer can't continue downloading

[derWolf]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-installer

Requirements:
* Ubuntu 9.10
* Not very fast internet

How to reproduce
1. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
2. Ctrl-C when downloading is in the middle
3. dpkg --configure -a
4. You'll see, that installer will start download from beginning

Expected: on step 4 installer should continue downloading or at least ask a question

I'm not sure, that this will work or that you can add this ability, but imho that can fix it:

in postinst:
  # setting wget options
  :> wgetrc
  echo "noclobber = off" >> wgetrc
  echo "dir_prefix = ." >> wgetrc
  echo "dirstruct = off" >> wgetrc
  echo "verbose = on" >> wgetrc
  echo "progress = dot:default" >> wgetrc

  # downloading the plugin
  echo "Downloading..."
+ if [ -f $FILENAME ]; then
+ echo "Continue downloading <y or n> ? \c"
+ read CONTINUE
+
+ if [ $CONTINUE = "y" ] ; then
+ echo "continue = on" >> wgetrc
+ fi
+ if [ $CONTINUE = "n" ] ; then
+ rm -f $FILENAME
+ fi
+ fi
  WGETRC=wgetrc wget $PARTNER_URL \
   || fp_exit_with_error "download failed"

I haven't tested it, because i don't know how to do it.

Thank you for your bug report! Can you reproduce this with newer Ubuntu versions, because Ubuntu 9.10 is EOL.
