A system that listens to the data traffic running over the Service Provider Premises between the plurality of surfers and the Internet. The system can identify downloading of a content object. The data transportation of each user can be parsed for identifying a connection that is involved in downloading a content object from a content server. When a downloading of a content object is identified, the download process is monitored and resuming information is stored. In case that the download process is incompletely terminated the stored resuming information can be used to accelerate the response to a request to renewal the download process of the same object.
