Download Utility

Does Windows XP Home Edition have a feature that will
allow interrupted file downloads from the internet to be
resumed at the point where interruption occurred? I have
heard that this is possible but no details were given.

Any help or input will be most appreciated.

Not built in, but there are many third party Download Managers available -
just use your favourite search engine to locate them

The new BITS update interacts with the Windows Update site and the SP2
download in this manner. I do not know if Microsoft plans to implement this
functionality for future downloads from their Update site or not.
