Some weeks ago I downloaded the enwiki dump and set up a torrent and started seeding after being asked to do that on IRC.
The person requesting it said he had trouble downloading large files due to unstable internet connection. Using bittorent was better, as it has builtin support for partial downloads.
This can be solved by installing a download manager, there are many that give you the ability to resume downloads even after loosing your internet connection or restarting your computer.
