Go here and download wget:

http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hherold/

Put the partial file in the same directory with Wget.exe
and/or the other way around.

Bring up a command prompt and enter:

wget -c http://www.nameofsource.here

Change the address to the files source.

If it is possible to resume loading the file in question you
should see progress resume at the percent you already have
in the title-bar.

It you have renamed the file (from what the default download
name was) use the line:

wget -c -O newfilename.ext http://www.nameofsource.here

Change "newfilename.ext" to the name you used.

The -c option is for "no-clobber", saves the part of the
file you already have.

Good luck.

I am downloading this big iso (+2GB) via http, and by accident I have 
removed the download from the downloader manager, I have 1.5GB already 
downloaded on the hard disk.

How can I restart the transfer taking on from where it last stopped?

I'm afraid that is not possible with a normal download. With bittorrent it  
would be enough to open the .torrent file again.

If there's a direct link to the file you should be able to use a *smart* 
download manager to resume. Or Total Commander :), assuming you're on
