Hi All,
Hi--
QUESTION: Why servers containing FeeBSD installations don't support broken downloads? Is there any workaround to this problem? Is this something to do with security or something like that?
Which FTP server were you using, and how did you retry? ftp.freebsd.com supports the FTP "reget" command fine, as shown below.

220-Please check the below URL to see if you have a closer mirror,
220-especially during releases of new versions of FreeBSD, the load
220-on this server can be quite high, and it's likely that you will
220-get better transfer rates from your local mirror.

220-Specifically should all mirrors not mirroring directly from the master
220-repository choose a different host than this to mirror from, for the
220-reasons mentioned above, I should also add that all tier 1 mirrors have
220-exactly the same access to the master repository as ftp.FreeBSD.org
