I was trying to download the Suse linux Evaluation DVD 64 bit x86 3.5 GB via Opera. After having downloading 2.56 GB, I stopped it for a while.

Now it is showing me a question mark on the size tab in the transfers tab. When I restarted the downloaded, it started it right from the beginning. Luckiliy when I restarted my computer, my download was still safe but the question mark was still there.

Any way out of the situation?
