I want to resume and pause (by user) downloads and show progress of download.

and pause download when application enters background on HOME button press.

resume download when application again enters foreground.

I found different ways of downloading big files but not of

I would implement a PHP script that you pass the current byte offset where the download should start. And then, when you receive the data, you can append it to the data you already downloaded.

I'm sure this is not a perfect solution. But when you implement some checks and pass informations about the offset from the server to the client, it should be achievable.
