The author of this tool uploaded a YouTube video demonstrating it a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15_-hgsX2V0

At one point in his demo, he uploads a file but terminates the upload more or less halfway. Then he begins downloading the file - which only progresses to the point it had been uploaded, and subsequently stalls indefinitely. And, finally, he finishes uploading the file (which gracefully resumes) and the file download (which is still running) seamlessly completes.

I found that particularly impressive.

It's very impressive, particularly if you remember waking up to a failed download from the night before over dial-up.

Most files were available via FTP which supported resume.

FTP can't restart a PPP or SLIP connection.

No, but FTP and such protocols shouldn't need to be aware of that layer, any more than it should be aware of my VPN that is happens to be connecting through. You can resume an FTP transfer once the PPP or SLIP connection has been restored though.
