I wouldn't expect them to work, either.

I think the pause/resume feature that Firefox purports to offer does not
work.  I've never seen it resume a download, even on servers that I know
support it.  I don't know what it's supposed to do.

If you want a client that resumes, I think you'll need to look
elsewhere.  On Linux, there's the wget command line tool, at least.  And
if you're going to test pausing/resuming, do it on a much smaller file.
One that doesn't waste lots of your time and bandwidth.
