I thought that curl supported resuming downloads.
<snip src="man curl">
-C/--continue-at <offset>
Continue/Resume a previous file transfer at the
given offset. The given offset is the exact number
of bytes that will be skipped counted from the
beginning of the source file before it is trans-
fered to the destination. If used with uploads,
the ftp server command SIZE will not be used by
curl. Upload resume is for FTP only. HTTP resume
is only possible with HTTP/1.1 or later servers.

Not sure how Fink negotiates this, though. BTW, although I have no
empirical evidence or reason to believe this, I would put my money on
curl or wget being more robust than any browser's file transfer
capabilities.
