In Internet Explorer you just click on the same link again and it will
automatically continue downloading the file and appending it, and I assume
it's the same for the latest Netscape (who finally seems to support that).

However, note that if you use the ftp protocol not every server supports the
resume command (which the clients who supports it tries to use).

Best regards,
