You cannot recover a botched download.



The reason is that the download has a built-in checking system to see if it is intact.



The checking system works on a handshaking method of sending a "code" during the downloading to see if all bits "add up" to what has been sent.



The method is called "handshaking" and the code check is called "checksum".



If during the download the "checksum" doesn't jive, the "handshake" attempts to "fix" the download.



BUT that is not your problem, you should have asked, Why did my computer freezed (freeze, froze), or lock up?



1. Maybe you ran out of space on the hard drive.



2. You probably ran out of RAM (Random Access Memory), and as a result the comp. freezed ;-)



If you intend to do more downloading (especially big files), you should consider upgrading to prevent this kind of hassle.



A bigger HDD and/or RAM.
