Can I download a file piece meal?

Are there ways that I can get my browser or computer to download a file a little at a time? I was dowloading some shareware the other day, and the electricity flickered, and although I had plenty of battery power, the file stopped dowloading. I had only 2 seconds left of a 14 megabyte download. As you have probably guess, I am using dialup.

I am running XP, IBM thinkpad, 600e, 576 MB RAM, 498 mghz Pentium III.

Due to the densly populated location I reside, my internet connection is only 28.8 kbs

 

Use a download manager which will allow you to stop and resume.

Unfortuantely, Internet Explorer doesn't have one built-in, but FireFox does.

There are plenty of freeware download managers like Download Accelertor Plus, Get Right, and Fresh Download.

 

try fresh download and this too is on the MG site: http://majorgeeks.com/download632.html

 

Leechget is one of the best, and free.
