Software for resuming download after connection dropout?

I have heard about software which will allow the user to resume a download should the connection happen to dropout halfway during a large download and therefore not wasting any valuable MB's on a prepaid account.

I know there are many flavours out there so can I have some suggestions as to what you (whoever may view this thread) use or would recommend for this purpose.

Thanks in advance

Been using this one for years.

Free Download Manager - absolutely free download accelerator and manager

Me too. It works well but you will only be able to resume a download if the site allows it.

A second opinion is always a good sign - thanks kado :)

I can also recommend Free Download Manager but be careful certain music sites (paysites - if you use them!) don't like these sorts of programmes as mentioned. Most sites do behave properly thankfully.
