Hi Kobus.

As most ftp servers ( including ftp.is.co.za ) supports resume you should be
able to resume the download. Use a ftp client like IglooFTP or a download
manager like Downloader for X. Both these are available from
http://lia.linuxburg.com ( Local ) and both support file resume.

Downloader for X even resumes http downloads ( http1.1 )

If you are using 'doze use wsFTP or Netvampire, Getright etc. all available
from http://tucows.is.co.za
