I dont know if it's true for firefox... I've never had an issue with big
files, only really small ones. either way, i usually just use wget
straight from the command line if i must use it at all... but have you
tried using a bittorrent? you'll probably get it faster, and they
support stop/resume flawlessly. 

hope that's helpful somehow...
