Sorry, don't have it and am in Palmer, but just a comment:
If you are using Linux currently and have ncftp, it should
resume downloading if you've lost connection.
Example, I downloaded Slack ver 9 with ncftp. it took over
24 hours. I had to break connection twice, and when I reconnected
from the same directory, ncftp read the partial file on the desktop
side and resumed download 'skipping forward' on the file at
the server for the number of bytes that it read on the desktop.
I don't believe that you have that feature with a http download.

man ftp
# look for "auto-resume'
