Oops, I forgot to mention my connection details.
I'm NOT using a proxy, but I'm connected using Cyberoam client. In linux I'm running linc (linc.sf.net) and set up cron to force it to relogin every 3 minutes.
The problem is not downloading, it is "resuming" of partial downloads. So it is not a question of setting the http_proxy or something. This is some deeper problem
It is your ISP's service that collapses on you. You can't do much except try out another internet provider if available.
