My adsl can change IP in the middle of a download - it did that, in fact, 
last time I tried downloading a 80 Mb file with Mozilla when there were 
only 15 Mb or so left. Mozilla download manager whatever did not recover, 
it just stuck there. I "Cancelled" it, lost the already downloaded part, 
and retried with wget instead.

Maybe you have a fully reliable network, or better luck.
