We won't implement the initial request as it is impossible to guess how much of
the file has been downloaded by the other program. Other programs could create
the complete file e.g. 10 MB and then download random parts, or the filesize
could resemble the actual downloaded size. Imo one should simply not switch
download managers for unfinished downloads.

On Mathieus issue restarting transfers is supported in KGet, so that should not
be an issue anymore. Further .part files are something of KIO, so essentially
have nothing to do with KGet itself. As finished downloads remain in the list
and are also added to the history one can also easily look what the url of
failed downloads is.
