Depends on what you're downloading with, and where from.

Given what little information you've given about how you were downloading the file, I can only assume that you were using Internet Explorer. In which case, no. Also, upgrade to a better browser like Opera. Don't listen to these Firefox fanboys, they just use it to be hardcore.

I think IE leaves it in the cache? Maybe I'm wrong.

In any case, if you still have the partial file (like what Opera leaves,) then you can use any downloader manager to load the url and resume the download.

Opera sucks sure there's an ebuild for opera but it just get dropped to /opt, it's statically linked, and it's CLOSED SOURCE, which means that it is a BINARY package.

I've had a download from IE resume before, but I have NO idea how I did it.

Anyway, you need a download manager.  Get a program called WinWget.  It's based off the unix wget command, so there's a lot of options, but it's not hard to learn the basics.  It supports resumes and stuff, you'll like it.
