I've noticed something interesting in COmmunicator 4.x for Linux:
Whenever I do download in Netscape, and my ppp link dies in the middle of
it, the download does not break. It just sits there, stalled. Resuming
connection to my ISP resumes the download. No need for any special tools
to put files

This is not a netscape special - it applies to anything. A
ppp problem *is* just a delay. Programs can decide to time out
or keep waiting, but there is no way they can know wheter it
is a slow server or a temporary hung-up phone line.
This is how networking in unix work - and it's nice.
