You can use wget for that.  Put this in /etc/mk.conf:

FETCH_CMD=     /usr/pkg/bin/wget

When your ISP cuts you off, you'll have part of the big file sitting in
/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles.  Just 'make fetch' again and wget will continue where it
left off.  I think that will work.  You might need to add the "-c" option.
