Sorry, I don't understand this bug report. What is the functional difference between cancelling, and pausing and never resuming? I guess cancelling might mean the partial download is deleted. But I'd expect deleting partial downloads to be the sort of thing that is handled by cache control rather than requiring manual deletion.

That seems like a separate bug. It shouldn't matter whether you try to resume five seconds later or five weeks later; if the server implements HTTP Range:, resume should work.
