<p>The invention provides a method and system for a network having multimedia messaging service (MMS) capability allowing downloading of one or more multimedia messages (MMs) from a server to a client. The client (1) and/or the server is capable of generating commands for suspending (S21) and resuming (S23) downloading of the multimedia message. When the client or server generates a command for suspending a current downloading of a multimedia message, the server suspends the downloading of the multimedia message, and a marker is generated for marking the position of suspending the multimedia message. When the client or server generates a command for resuming the suspended downloading of the multimedia message, the server resumes the downloading from the position of suspending marked by the marker. The client when receiving additional subsequent portions of the multimedia message after generating a marker for marking the position of suspending the multimedia message, stores these additional subsequent portions of the multimedia message, generates a new marker pointing to the end of the received additional subsequent portions of the multimedia message, and stores the new marker.</p> |
