# Pausing Downloading

The Download Manager allows you to pause downloading of files and even disconnect your connection to the Internet. You can return later to resume downloading the files.

For example, if your Internet connection is unavailable, the Download Manager remembers where you paused. You can return later, click the Resume button, and FreeAmp will resume downloading your files exactly where you paused it. Note: Not all servers support resuming from the paused position. If a server does not support resuming, the file will be downloaded from the beginning.

To Pause Downloading

1. From the FreeAmp Main Window, click the Download button.
2. From the Download Manager, click the Pause button.
3. From the Download Manager, click the Close button.
4. If you need to, disconnect from the Internet.
