Trying to upload an image from remote source, but because of slow connection of the source server my Google Chrome every time uploads up to 25-20% and then interrupts, giving: An HTTP error 0 occurred. /filefield/ahah/story/field_story_image/0 When I hit transfer button again, it starts from 0%. I would like to suggest to make Remote URL function of FileFiled Sources module to have ability to continue form interrupted point.

I don't think this will be implemented, or at least I have no plans to implement it myself.

If the remote server is so slow it might be better to grab all images from it down to your local machine and upload them to Drupal yourself.

HTTP 1.1 resume support would be tricky to implement as you'd need to keep partial downloads on the Drupal side and resume downloading them or garbage collect the partial downloads (which isn't too bad using the file api temporary file flag)
