[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
one is that i have songs on my computer that are blank. i dont remember how they got to be there but they are 0 bytes and i cant get rid of it.
another is that i know that like on windows xp if you download something from a site and if your internet connection stops you can go back on the internet when it is working and go redownload the file starting where you left off but in vista they have the file in parts? like in the picture the file ends in .part and this happens with music files too and when i try downloading in vista the file downloads anew from the same source. i dont know if its possible to pick up where i left off downloading from last time because my internet have been screwy lately.
thank you for all your help. =]

When downloading, your browser creates two files. One is the real file, but it is empty. The other is a .part file, which fills up as you download. Once the download is complete, it fills the real file with whatever is in the .part file and deletes the .part file. You should be able to delete both files when your browser is closed, if you want.
Resuming downloads depends on which browser you're using. Internet Explorer, which comes with XP and Vista, doesn't create part files and doesn't support resuming. Firefox does; it should resume automatically as soon as your Internet connection comes back online.
Additionally, some sites prohibit resuming downloads. In those cases, you are forced to start at the beginning of each download if your Internet connection fails. Part files are still created, usually.
If your Internet connection fails a lot, you should use a download manager. They will make sure your downloads are downloaded correctly, even if your Internet connection is slow or unreliable. I recommend Free Download Manager:
