My Konqueror 3.1.2 allows me to resume http downloads.

But I prefer to use wget with the -c switch.

From the wget manpage:

       -c
       --continue
       Continue getting a partially-downloaded file. This is useful when you want to
       finish up a download started by a previous instance of Wget, or by another program.
       For instance:
       wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z

If I notice that the download stalls, I just ctrl-c and the execute
the command again and it begins dowloading where it left off.
