it restarts because when your internet disconnects, the update file is not complete and therefore unable to used, resulting in a redownload

Even when I pause the download it will still restart
This is expected behavior, do you not want this download?
I do want it because it's a software update for my iPad
can you try not to pause and hope that internet doesn't disconnect when you update? 🙂
if your internet is too unstable for whatever reason, try updating at someone else's place
Then go to a location with a more reliable connection and do it there, Apple Stores are good for that, buy an accessory for it in return.
My internet is good, I'm just wondering why they give you the option to pause your download if it just restarts it. :s

If you want it don't pause, I am really not understanding the issue here?
Well I paused my download last night because I had to go to school in the morning and when I tried it again the download restarted.
I'm signing off now, if you want the download, do it, don't pause, this is a storm in an update.
I'm sorry if me pausing my update make you mad.
pausing for around 6 -7 hours will cause the connection to apple's servers to time out, causing the file to be, again, incomplete and unusable, thus it restarts when you come back from school. pausing for 1 or 2 minutes should not cause it to restart
I never knew that, thanks for the helpful answer Andytu
I wont be doing downloads at night again
How do you download iPad updates?
There are many reasons why you might want to pause a 3 hour download. Like doing other things with your internet connection for instance. You can pause app and music downloads, why not much larger files? Every other download helper from other vendors has this functionality and ITunes already does this for other files. Its hugely frustrating having waited 2 hours and a home internet wobble reseting entire download. As for the suggestion of going round to someone else's house to download - haha - this is a digital, online service and I don't know why Apple doesn't do resumable downloads for their massive updates.
