try wget, it is a commandline tool, but don't be scared! It is very robust.
example: wget http://www.microsoft.com/win2k.iso if it stops part way through wget -c http://www.microsoft.com/win2k.iso -c = continue. It will dump the file in your current directory. I often cut and paste the file's URL into a terminal window to save a lot of retyping.
