Never heard of Go Right, but from the context i assume it's a program that
resumes a disconnected download?

wget can do this, and i'm sure many other programs can as well. According
to the manpage, wget will automatically continue where it left off when
the connection is lost. Or, if you have to interrupt it, you can use the
-c option to force it to continue the next time you run it to retrieve
that same file.

The session might go something like this:
  $ cd ~
  $ wget ftp.stardivision.com/path/to/so51-etc.tar
  [you interrupt it]
  $ wget -c ftp.stardivision.com/path/to/so51-etc.tar
  [you interrupt it again]
  $ wget -c ftp.stardivision.com/path/to/so51-etc.tar

This will only work with an ftp server that supports resuming downloads, i
believe they're indicated as such on the StarOffice download page
