    Perhaps kget helps you to continue aborted downloads. It is in the package
    kdenetwork3, K-menu -> System -> Desktop Applet -> Kget

    I cannot give you a definitive answer, as I have not tested Kgets continuation
    of broken downloads. But you might want to give Kget a try. It integrates
    nicely in Konqueror.

    Cheers,
