It does resume downloading, just not in the middle of a single file.  (It will 
only download files that are missing.)  Resuming in the middle of a file has 
shown to be problematic and is not supported by all the mirrors anyway.  
Resuming in the middle of a file results in a file with a bad checksum more 
often than restarting the file entirely.
