Sometimes downloading a file is doing:
1. put a 0 length of the original file.
2. download the new file in another location.
3. Copy the new file over the 0 bytes- file.
4. Remove the "new file in another location".
It could be that the auto-update do step 1, step 2... but in the middle
of the step 2 ...your "AT&T-DSL problems" stop the process... leaving
your seamonkey.exe empty.

If that's what the developers are doing, it's irresponsible and unsafe. The right way to do this is to download the entire installer and then run it locally.

I can imagine a local power outage causing the installer to fail in mid-update, but I can't imagine the developers are so stupid as to do what you describe.
