Short answer: Your best bet is to use a program with resumable download support (e.g. download accelerator for Windows).





Long explanation: Technically, whenever you download a file, you have an open file descriptor, and you could seek to a position in the middle of whatever you're downloading and start from there- if the server is set up that way. The problem is, you're on the client side, and usually files are served by simply printing them from beginning to end. That's why a tool like accelerator comes in handy; even if the server you're downloading from won't support resumable downloads, accelerator's servers can.





If the server supports it, you can just use the http 1.1 ';range'; header. That'll let you pick a start and stop point within the file, so you can grab chunks and put them back together on your computer.





Most websites that split files for you are tied to a client program that you have to download (which is why I recommended one, see the source link). Other than that, any web storage service (www.box.net) in the world could work as well.
