From LINQ to SilverLight – Watch videos and hear about all the cool technologies coming and the people behind them. http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums en Thu, 23 May 2013 02:41:47 GMT Thu, 23 May 2013 02:41:47 GMT Rev9 7 -7 -1 Site Feedback - Downloading Videos Over Intermittent Network Connections I really like the ability to download videos for watching at my own speed rather than my ISP's speed. Since my computer is a laptop, I frequently move around and gain and lose a network connection. Even when the laptop is docked at night, the high-speed "always-on" Internet connection seemingly goes down at random.

I know that Microsoft has solved this problem for Windows Updates by creating BITS and have tried to download Channel 9 videos via BITS. Unfortunately, the moment the connection dies, the entire download has to start over.

Is there any chance that Channel 9 could fully support BITS? MSDN has a helpful article on the topic.

I'm actually fairly familar with the process BITS uses behind the scenes and I believe that support for content-range requests is all that is required. The article you link to is about file *uploads* which are handled quite differently than the download process.
