Out of the box OSGi frameworks will install bundles from remote URLs.  While 
the downloading capabilities (e.g, restartability, ...) are framework 
implementation dependent most frameworks I know of do NOT support download 
restart.  There are several options for provisioning OSGi systems.  For 
example, Equinox p2 (http://eclipse.org/equinox/p2) has sophisticated download 
and staging capabilities.
