This is probablly a really stupid question.

I was halfway through downloading Americas Army when my laptop went on standby. When I turned it back on, AA was no longer downloading. When I clicked on the "Resume" button (I'm using Firefox), it didn't start downloading.

Am I going to have to start the download again or is there anyway to get this thing moving again?

I think it depends on whether the site you're downloading from allows it or not.

Sometimes for me I've gone back to the website and started to download it again and it starts off from where I left off.

IIRC, AA has official torrents. That's the fastest way to get it and resumption is automatic.

I use download accelerators like NetTransport, and it will tell you if the server the file is on supports broken download resume or not. Not all do.
