Maybe Firefox has this built in?
Also you might check bittorrent for this file. It'll keep the download
going for you and resume.

Repeating myself, FTP is more than sufficient to the task. It
recovers gracefully from line disconnects and user suspends. (picks up
where it left off)
Bittorrent is actually a bit different approach, with the reliability
as an add on to an inherently flaky (for large file transfer) http
protocol.

There's no reason why HTTP should be any more flaky than FTP. Both handle
resuming a download in exactly the same way, i.e. the client tells the
server to skip the first N bytes of the file.

No. They don't. Do go read up on the protocols. Http is more like
udp. Ftp is a multifile wrapper around tcp. Big differences.
