Yes, but when it starts downloading, it will skip the hundred packages
already downloaded. At worst, it will download again the one it was
working on when killed. Again at worst, it could be a really big one.
In that case, you can discover which one it is, and finish the download
with wget, after changing its name (see Anders message). Later, fire up
yast.
