Once I faced the same problem! I was d/l ing approx. 250MB Video (RAR file) and in Final stage, The connection got disconnected. :(
What I did, I try to extract the file, it started extracting and at approx. 90% it gave ERROR. So I got an Idea. I again started to extract it and as soon as it reached to 90%, I just clicked on PAUSE button and then copied/pasted the extracted contents to another location. :D It worked and I could watch that extracted movie.
