I have verified that it automatically resumes the download part also. But the percentage always starts at 0. The reason is it is showing the percentage for the current session of the download and not for the entire download. Note the following line when you do a dist-upgrade.
Need to get 1000MB/2000MB of archives. The percentage 0 to 100 is for the 1000MB of archives and not for the 2000MB of archives. So even if you stop at 1999MB and start the dist-upgrade again, it will start at 0% and move to 100% for that remaining 1MB.
