Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for resuming download. The method for resuming download comprises: converting a file incompletely downloaded by a first download tool to a file identifiable to a second download tool, so that the second download tool resumes downloading the incompletely-downloaded file, wherein the first download tool and the second download tool are different download tools. The present invention implements relay download of different download tools, and can be applied to file download, so as to avoid wasting network resources and time of users.
