usually a browser should be able to download without any issues, you can give a try at flashfxp or any other ftp manager too...

There are so many FTP clients out there. Get any one of them.

File Zilla
Smart FTP
Ace FTP
WS_FTP
WS_FTP LE (little older version, but free)

Here's a FTP tutorial

FTP is surely faster for file transfers. There are some FTP clients that lets you resume broken downloads. As for resuming broken uploads, it is server dependant also.
