Downloading large files using Chrome can be interrupted by unstable Internet connections, application or system crashes, or even power outages. Being able to resume the downloads helps save time and effort, as compared to restarting the download process all over again. This article shows you two different ways of resuming file downloads in Google Chrome.
Before you start:
Make PC & Internet faster
Before using one of the following methods to resume your download, it is highly recommended that you optimize the speed of your PC and Internet connection. With an optimized PC and faster Internet speed, you will enjoy smoother web browsing experience, shorter file download time, and less download interruptions.
Method 1: use the Chrome Download Manager
Chrome provides a download manager that keeps track of files you download. Visit the online help from Chrome to learn how to use the download manager. If the interrupted download is visible from the download manager, then you can possibly resume the download by following the steps below.
Step 1 : Click the Options dropdown menu (top-right corner of the browser) and select Downloads to open the download manager. Or you can press Ctrl + J instead.

Step 2: Locate the partially downloaded file that you want to resume from the list of downloads the download manager contains. If the interrupted download isn't listed within the download manager, then you will need to use Method 2 to resume downloading the file. Chome seems to only allow resume for downloads within the current session. If you restart Chrome, then it is unlikely that you can resume a download from a previous session.
Step 3: Select Resume to start downloading from where it file was left off.
Method 2: use UFO and WGet to resume download
If the download manager of the default web browser doesn't have the partially downloaded file you want to resume, you will have to manually resume the download process. The following steps show you how to manually resume downloads by using Ultra File Opener and WGet.

Step 1 : Download and install Ultra File Opener, which provides you with the original download URL.
Step 2 : Download and install WGet. WGet is a free open-source tool for downloading files using HTTP.

Step 3 : Locate and open the partially downloaded file using Ultra File Opener. It provides you both the name of the file and the directory path (as seen below).
Step 4: Prepare the complete file path of the download file. Open Notepad and copy both the Target File Path and the Target File Name to form the complete file path. In this case it is C:UsersydmDownloadsApache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.1_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe. You will need this information later.
Step 5 : Copy the original download URL from the UFO screen, by clicking the Copy URL button. This stores the download URL in the Windows clipboard. Go to the Notepad file, in which you have the partially downloaded file path and name from Step 4, and paste the download URL by press Ctrl + V.
Step 6 : Prepare the WGet command-line information using the information prepared in both Step 4 and Step 5. The format for this command-line is: wget -c -O '[full-file-path-target-download-file]]' '[download-URL]'. Replace the parameters defined in square brackets with actual data.
Step 7: Open the Command-line Window and locate the WGet directory. Copy the entire command-line text from Notepad and paste it in the Command-line Window (right-click and select Paste). Press Enter to resume the download.

I recently found myself at the wrong end of a crappy internet connection and needing to download a 97MB file. Safari and Chrome would both choke during the download and leave me with a unusable, truncated 4MB file, with no way to resume the download. The OSX command-line download utility, curl, can resume downloads, but I had to check manually each time the download was interrupted and re-run the command.
After typing 'up, enter' more times than I care to admit, I decided to figure out the automatic way. Here's my bash one-liner to get automatic download resume in curl:
export ec=18; while [ $ec -eq 18 ]; do /usr/bin/curl -O -C - 'http://www.example.com/a-big-archive.zip'; export ec=$?; done

Explanation: the exit code curl chucks when a download is interrupted is 18, and $? gives you the exit code of the last command in bash. So, while the exit code is 18, keep trying to download the file, maintaining the filename (-O) and resuming where the previous download left off (-C).

Update: As Jan points out in the comments, depending what is going wrong with the download, your error code may be different. Just change '18' to whatever error you're seeing to get it to work for you! (If you're feeling adventurous, you could change the condition to
