that sounds like a good compromise; a full re-download won't be too bad for that fraction of a percent that gets it. if you have huge files as CPDN does, then I would just switch to a "normal" gzip or boinc_zip/unzip and have the application just do the gunzip or boinc_unzip. That will just give a tiny CPU overhead on the client; and then BOINC (well libcurl) can do normal partial downloads as needed.
