anyway ...
Mac OS X bittorrent can resume partial downloads (version 3.1a at least).
all you have to do is -when asked for a save location when opening a .torrent- specify the same directory you used last time on the same file.

ARGH! I was thrown off by the fact that it asks you if you want to replace the existing file! So, feeling that my experiment was a failure, hit cancel, then quit, then deleted the partial file!

Thank you, 2112. That makes me much happier with this program.

yes, it will start up if you have any small bit of the program, basically it works like the uploading works, it uploads and downloads what you need.

you want to replace the file.

By replacing it means 'find out how much you have and start from that point'...

It is a little unclear.
