  14.4.3 Restarting RECEIVE FROMNETWORK
                                             ... You can simply rerun the
   RECEIVE FROMNETWORK command, and SMP/E will determine which files have
   already been transferred successfully, and which files need to be
   transferred again or have not yet been transferred...
<snip>

The discussion you quote above refers to files within a single order. For example, if the download operation stops after only N-1 of the N total files have been downloaded, when you rerun that RECEIVE FROMNET operation, SMP/E will detect that N-1 files have already been downloaded successfully and will not download them again.

No optimization is gained by keeping the downloaded files for an order in the SMPNTS after the RECEIVE for that order is complete (unless of course you want to RECEIVE that content into another global zone or some such). Generally speaking I recommend use of DELETEPKG on the RECEIVE to delete the downloaded files immediately after RECEIVE is complete. No sharing or reuse of files occurs between orders, as I think Gil is pondering.
