Once our Canadian QA team has uploaded a large Zip file (around 50MB) of an installer to SVN and we had a bit of trouble downloading it to our Sri Lankan environment due to network slowness etc. The major annoyance was, when the file was about 45MB downloaded, there was network issue at the Sri Lankan end and the download broke. Even when the network was back online, Tortoise SVN tool (Version 1.6.12) was unable to resume the download so we had to close and restart the update process. This led to downloading this file from the start. It would be a real value addition feature if SVN server and/or Tortoise SVN tool is given any design considerations around this to support "Resumable Downloads".

I have kept this e-mail for over five years in the hopes that one day I
would be able to reply to it! Today is that day and I can finally
delete an e-mail!

I just released a functional and relevant prototype for a new protocol
called the Resilient Internet Protocol (ResIP) that implicitly solves
the non-resumable protocol issue above along with quite a few other
networking problems related to TCP/IP:

SVN client -> ResIP client -> Internets -> ResIP server -> SVN server
