If it interuppted, you can start again.  It will not redawnload same
package.  If you want to save bandwidth, think about setting up proxy
(squid) so package list can be cached locally.

If you hate to be asked, invoke it with 

# apt-get install -y ...

(I never done this.)

or just --download-only

Even with cable, I see package file being very big thesedays.
