Downloading Files Off Websites (Quick Question)

Ok on
Monster Magnet
's website they have a Media section where you can download mp3s, videos etc. Anywayz when i did what it says (right click save target as..) it starts downloading as expected but after it's got to say 20% or 30% it just stops, finishes, never makes it to the end so i am stuck with incomplete files and it is really pissing me off, now i have a 56k modem so the speed of downloads is never fast but as far as i can remember i have never had this problem before on other sites or anything now does anybody have an idea for me to fix this (aside from getting a better connection) or an alternative way i can go about getting the files?

Some servers support resuming downloads, but you'll have to download a special download manager to handle it. If you get disconnected or only finish half of a download, and the server supports it, you can start it up again where you left off.
