Hi Barry,
I used to have the same problem with WinME and my old dial-up connection. There are a number of download managers that'll do the trick, but Star Downloader is what I opted for, and it's always worked great for me. I have since upgraded to XP with a DSL connection, and maybe I don't even need it any more, but I'm still using it just the same!
Here's what majorgeeks.com has to say about it:
"Star Downloader is a download accelerator that can increase download speeds by up to 400 percent. Unlike similar applications, it is completely free. It does not contain any banner ads or spy-ware.
The acceleration is achieved by splitting the file being downloaded into several parts and downloading these parts at the same time. Download speeds are further increased by downloading the file from the fastest mirror sites.
You may automatically resume broken downloads if your connection is lost or if your computer accidently shuts down. With the scheduler, you may download files at certain times of the day. Star Downloader may also automatically connect to your ISP and hangup upon completion of downloads.
An integrated unzipping utility can automatically unzip and install downloaded files. Star Downloader also integrates with your antivirus program to automatically scan files upon completion of the download.
Star Downloader supports FTP and HTTP. Proxy is also supported. "
