Which program were you using for the download? Internet Explorer and similar are not the best tools for the job for the reasons you have discovered. It is better to use a download manager. They are programs that can continue the download from where it left off if you lose your internet connection. The OpenOffice.org website has a list of download managers here: http://download.openoffice.org/common/downloadtools.html Personally, I usually use Opera, which is a web browser that has an inbuilt download manager.
