I'm currently using KGet v0.8.5 (Using KDE 3.5.5), here in the following scenario:

a) start a long lasting download
b) pause it (e.g. because the connection gets lost or one sets the download into pause mode)
c) chown the destination directory and *.part to root (or make the target unavailable by other means, e.g. it was in a /tmp/ directory that had been removed because the host rebooted)
d) set the download to "resume".

Error: Could not write to ... .

It is now possible in the current version of KGet to use "Copy URL to clipboard" and re-iniate a new download after the already existing (stalled) one is deleted.
I would suggest to ease this procedure. (clipboard might be overwritten in the time or something like that; it is not straight forward, too.
