["George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not quite strictly true, Graham.  When you are downloading a
file, the system gives it a file name/number which doesn't
relate to the actual file name, and moreover is also stored
in a temporary area of your drive.

I have as often as not found that if a download gets broken
half way, and you restart the process, it will continue from
where it left off.  (Which saved my bacon many a time when
downloading 3 Gigabyte betas of Windows Vista!)

if a zip file, you need the whole thing to be complete or it
will probably 
not be present and if it is it will not be usable.
