Easy.

I do it using the ncurses torrent client. First I start it telling to download
the incumbent iso. I allow it to run for a minute or so, then I stop it. I
notice where it has started to put the ISO, then I copy over it the broken but
full ISO I got by any other method. Finally, I restart the ncurses client, which
will inmediately verify what it has, and start re-downloading whatever pieces
are bad.

Any _good_ bittorrent client should be able to do this, but I haven't been able
to convince ktorrent to comply. Azureus can, I've been told.
