Hi Pierre,
You can download the Sun Download Manager (SDM) from the Sun Java site.
It does just what you want.
I have saved myself many hours of doublework using it. The only minor
requirement is to copy the download location into SDM, tell it what
directory to put it in and let it go. You can even pause the download and
resume it later on. After a crash or disconnect you always have the option
to restart it.
HTH,
Ken Wagner

Try Firefox Tools-> Extension->s get more Extensions. I am currently
trying the Aria download manager. It resumes nicely and does a lot of
other nice things.
If you're comfortable with command line stuff, the wget program works
nicely with versions for Windoze and Linux.

I downloaded Open Office new version. My connection is a very slow

downloading, without starting all over again.

Try downloading the free web browser Opera. While I prefer Firefox, Opera
is much better for large downloads because it can resume a download
partway if you close the browser or the connection breaks.
