Download Accelerator? That's all that springs to mind i'm afraid. Doesn't firefox have a crude resume file function?

Have a search for Getright, thats what I used to use all the time and I still use it occasionally despite being on broadband. It allows download resuming as well as segmented downloading, so you can download seperate parts of the file from different places, all at once.

Firefox was my first thought, but it doesn't save the file so when I
restarted my PC it had reset the download. I'll try what ReNo said.
Thanks
