assuming you have enough disk space, take a copy of the original file you
want to rsync against (otherwise you'll lose it) and then call rsync
using --partial. it will then `move' its tempfile over the file it was
rsyncing across if it breaks in the middle.
note - if you only copy 5M and the connection breaks, rsync will then
happily copy over a 5M temp file over the 650M original.. which is why
it's a really good idea to either have a copy or have permissions to
make sure it can't delete the original.
